Hi Koora: At the beginning of the Spanish Clasico in Jeddah, which brought together Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick spoke about his decision to repeat the lineup that led him to a comfortable victory in the semi-finals against Athletic Bilbao (0-2).
Flick explained that the lineup that will be relied upon in the final match is the same lineup that played against Athletic Bilbao, which was clear to him since the end of the semi-final.
When talking about Dani Olmo, who had obtained permits from the Spanish Sports Commission to participate, the German coach confirmed that “Olmo is always an important player in the team, but we decided to maintain the same squad that gave a strong performance in the last match.”
-As for goalkeeping, Szczesny’s participation was the subject of question, as Flick indicated, “We are in the Spanish Super Cup, and we will continue with him in this role, but this decision is specific to this match only, and is not related to the future.”
Regarding Real Madrid, Flick described his opponent as “a wonderful team with world-class players,” stressing that his team needs to give its best, as they did in Madrid, with the hope of repeating the outstanding performance in this match.
