Hansi Flick has only one idea in mind: winning his first trophy as coach of the FC Barcelona. In front of him, he is aware that he will have one of the best teams in the world, Real Madrid, on Sunday at 8 p.m. On the lawn of the King Abdullah Sports City stadium, the Clasico promises to spark, but Barça’s German coach says: “We are perfectly prepared.”
However, he insists his team “must play much better than against Athletic. We made too many mistakes and we need to reduce them. Madrid are one of the best teams in the world in transition and they are taking advantage of all the options you give them.”
Regarding his players, the German said that “Dani Olmo is very happy to be able to play again” and also commented on the performance of Szczęsny in the goals. No decision has yet been made as to who will defend Barça’s net in the final, the new Polish signing or Iñaki Peñawho was the number 1 goalkeeper two matches ago.
Not comparable with the Clasico de la Liga
“We have to do our job and we will prevail,” continued Flick. “We have to prepare the team well, that’s what’s important. It’s a Spanish Super Cup Clasico, and it would be fantastic to win. It would boost our confidence for the rest of the season.”
“My players must forget the noise that surrounds them, we must focus on ourselves to have the best possible performance… We want to play with the Barça philosophy, like during the last Clasico. It worked well for us. We We’re not going to change anything.”
