Lopez took home the match ball, and the MVP award, after a brilliant showing that clearly impressed his manager.
“He scores, he runs, he’s very complete. His performance was sensational. Three goals, the first one very important, gave us confidence. He has it all: he’s dynamic, he has speed,” he said afterwards.
Flick also highlighted how important the win was ahead of Sunday’s trip to the Santiago Bernabeu to take on Real Madrid.
“We had some problems at the beginning of the match, but we deserved the victory. Every goal and every victory is important,” he added.
”The first thing is that we won today, which was the important thing, and this should give us confidence for that match.
“It’s a tremendous game. We don’t have time to waste. We’re going to bounce back.”
Barcelona head to Madrid knowing that a victory on Sunday will see them leapfrog Los Blancos and move back to the top of the table in Spain.
