Narrative:

Flap overspeed during go-around. First officer was pilot flying; I was pilot monitoring. Went around from visual to runway xxl due to not being in the slot at 500 ft. GA toga was called and set; GA flaps was called and set (flaps 2); positive rate and gear up was called and completed. Rotation to go around pitch was slower and to a lower pitch attitude than necessary so climb out was therefore shallower than needed for normal go around climb and acceleration. At this point I saw an aircraft crossing our flight path beyond the airport boundary and since we had not yet received instructions from ATC for heading and altitude; I spent a moment trying to determine if it was or would be a threat. Climb thrust was not set at acceleration altitude and we accelerated toward 250 KIAS. We subsequently received ATC heading and altitude instructions which removed the aircraft ahead as a potential threat. Unfortunately; we were accelerating toward vfe and when I realized this it was too late to avoid overspeeding the flaps. I took the aircraft and disconnected the auto thrust system and reduced the thrust to slow the aircraft. I would estimate the alert sounded for 5-10 seconds and the overspeed amount was 3-4 KIAS. Pitch warning on landing: at approximately 1000 AGL; autothrust on; the system was holding a speed between vapp and vls. The perf page had a vapp speed of 142 and vls of 137. There was a tailwind of 6 kts on the ground (330/08knots reported winds). During approach below about 200 AGL; auto thrust on; the indicated speed went below vls. Descent rate felt normal although I did not look at the vsi to see the actual rate. When the thrust levers were moved to idle around 30 AGL; the speed went further below vls. I estimate at touchdown that the speed was 10 KIAS below vls. I considered calling for a go around but felt that the pitch and speed combination was such that if a go around was initiated that a tail strike may occur and that we were close enough to the ground we would be better off accepting a firm landing. At one point during touchdown I saw 10 degrees nose up pitch and the pitch warning sounded. I told the first officer to leave the pitch where it was (and accept the bounce). He did and we touched down again.

Title: Due to an unstable approach; A321 flight crew executed a go-around during which they oversped the flaps. Just prior to touchdown on the subsequent landing; the crew received an aural 'Pitch; Pitch' warning. Crew elected to continue to a firm landing rather than risk a tail strike executing another go-around.
