In a post-match interview, Rodri highlighted the performances of Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Adeyemi, stating, "For me, today Rapha was outstanding, Lamine was also very good, and Adeyemi, I really liked how he came on in the second half." He emphasized the team's commitment to maintaining their competitive momentum, saying, "We’re not going to lose our rhythm, we’re going to keep competing. We need to keep in mind that these are important matches and come back in the best possible shape."
Rodri also praised Gerard Martín, who stepped in for Andreas Christensen due to an injury, noting that Martín was "sensational" and expressing regret over Christensen’s condition. Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick echoed Rodri's praises for him, stating, "Rodri is a great player, both with and without the ball. He controls everything and gives us composure in our positional play. I think he connects well with Pedri and the center-backs. Overall, I think we can be happy with what we did."
Following the strong performance, Barcelona will take a break before returning to the field on October 10th against Getafe.
