Barcelona’s players are said to feel that failing to win the title under these circumstances would be a major missed opportunity, even though there would still be matches remaining afterwards.

Because of that, the intention inside the squad is to attack Real Madrid from the opening whistle and try to finish the title race immediately.

There is also confidence that Real Madrid’s morale may not be strong enough to cope with the intensity of a Clasico away from home, especially with many already believing the league race is effectively over.

Barcelona, meanwhile, are determined to use that atmosphere to their advantage.

No recklessness

At the same time, Flick’s squad are not approaching the game carelessly. The players still maintain full respect for Real Madrid and understand the danger that always exists in a Clasico.

However, there is also a growing belief among the squad that Barcelona have been the stronger side this season, and they now want to prove it on the pitch.

More than anything, the Blaugrana want to deliver a memorable night for the fans and celebrate what would become their first major title since returning to Spotify Camp Nou.
