Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was convinced that his party could respond to the defeat against Inter in the semi-final of the Champions League, after having lost a heartbreaking way. The Blaugrana knows that avoiding the defeat against Los Blancos would be an important step to the La Liga title.
The question in everyone is how Barcelona would respond to losses against Inter, both in heartbreaking and exhausting circumstances in the semi -final of the Champions League.
“We are doing well after the defeat in Milan. Everyone knows that it is not easy, but we are doing things well and we have talked about what we want to do. We have four more games left and a Clasico is very important. It's about having faith in what we want to show.”
“When you play these types of games, Real Madrid tries to do everything they can. I am not worried about the table. What we have to do is win. And that is our attitude. We are simply focused on this game. Nothing else.”
Flick continued to the competition as the most honest title and the most honest reflection of the season.
“We have four games. And as I said before, we are going to concentrate on every match and try to win them all. And El Clasico is the first, the most important thing for the Barca fans, for the players and for me and my staff. It's fantastic. This has nothing to do with them without energy because they have it. They do it.
“La Liga is the most honest title. You have to play 38 games, and if you reach the end and first end, this is the most honest title.”
Real Madrid saw the last meeting between the two defending deep in the first half, but was much more aggressive in the second, which put pressure on the Blaugrana. Flick was asked what he expected on Sunday.
“We could see both sides of the coin. We have to be ready. They also put our pressure under pressure man-to-man in the final, and they do that very well. They have a formidable offensive system. It is a possibility for tomorrow.”
“Yes,” he answered whether Wojciech Szczesny would start with El Clasico before he went to ask about the future of Szczesny and Robert Lewandowski. Both are expected to extend their deals for next year, but they still have to be announced.
“It is the task of Deco; I am not the leadership of contracts. However, I am happy with him. He is always very positive, calm and stays cool, and that is good for us. I think he would like to stay. He is more relaxed, sometimes he smokes a bit, but that's just how he is.
Before his press conference it was announced that Alejandro Bald and Marc Casado had returned to fitness and received the medical green light. Flick said that Baltde could contribute in the second half, but more or less confirmed that Eric Garcia and Gerard Martin would be the starting pair at Full-Back.
