After Ferran Torres scored a goal, Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the semi-finals of the 2024/25 Spanish King's Cup and successfully advanced to the final. Flick said that the team can have dreams, but also focus on the goals they want to achieve.
In the 27th minute of the game, Ferran Torres received a pass from Yamal and scored, helping Barcelona take the lead 1-0.
The two sides could not change the score in the following time. In the end, Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 away and eliminated Atletico Madrid with a total score of 5-4, successfully obtaining a ticket to the final. In the final, Barcelona will compete with Real Madrid for the championship.
Barcelona coach Flick said, "We defended well and performed very well overall. Everyone should be proud of this team, including our coaching staff. Atletico Madrid is a great team, but we have improved a lot. It is not easy to win away from home, but all the players performed well and we controlled the game well."
"We can certainly dream, but we also have to focus on what we want to achieve as a team. We need to rest, recover and focus on training."
In addition, Barcelona will host Real Betis in the next round of La Liga. Currently, Barcelona ranks first in the standings with 66 points, 3 points ahead of the defending champions, so Barcelona must maintain its winning momentum to expand its lead in the standings.
Flick said: "The next game is against Real Betis and the next few weeks will not be easy, but we have an excellent team that the club and the fans can be proud of."
"I don't want to talk about the final yet, my focus is only on the game against Real Betis. It would be wonderful to compete in the El Clasico, but we still have many games to play and many important things to do before that."
