Flick: We must show the team's value on the field

The 30th round of the 2024/25 La Liga season will usher in another focus game, and Barcelona will host Real Betis at home. Flick said that he felt that the team had become more confident and therefore had to show its value on the court.

With goals from Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Barcelona beat Girona 4-1 in the last round of La Liga. After winning nine games in a row, Barcelona currently ranks first in the standings with 66 points, only three points ahead of the defending champion Real Madrid, which ranks second. The championship race is extremely fierce.

It is worth mentioning that Barcelona eliminated Atletico Madrid in the Spanish King's Cup earlier and successfully obtained a ticket to the final. In addition to taking care of La Liga and the Spanish King's Cup, Barcelona will play against Dortmund at home in the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals next week.

Barcelona coach Flick said in an interview, "I now have a feeling that the team is beginning to really believe in themselves. My job is to constantly remind them that we must play at the level we should and show our value on the court. We will fight for everything, believe in ourselves, and hope to win every competition."

"There is still a long schedule in La Liga. There are still nine games left. We can win or lose each game. And there are other teams that can compete for the championship, not just us and Real Madrid."

When talking about the opponent Real Betis, Flick said, "This will be a difficult game, as we saw in the Spanish King's Cup. In fact, the result of the game does not fully reflect the process of the game. We must show our best performance to deal with them, and we must also arrange the players' playing time reasonably."

"Manuel Pellegrini is very experienced and always gets the most out of his players. Looking at Anthony's performance at Real Betis now and comparing it to his time at Manchester United, it's clear to see the influence of the manager."
