Barcelona manager Hansi Flick spoke to the press on Monday ahead of this teamâs Champions League quarter-final second leg against AtlĂ©tico Madrid at the Metropolitano on Tuesday night.
Hereâs a summary of Flickâs best quotes, including his thoughts on Gavi and Lamine Yamal, his expectations for the match and Frenkie de Jongâs status.
Gavi
âGavi can play, of course. Heâs a player who gives everything to this team and the club, and on the pitch heâs fearless, which is a very good situation, and weâll see. Whether he starts in the eleven or not, weâll see after training.â
Frenkie de Jongâs chances of starting
âFrenkie is in better shape than Bernal. Weâll see him today, but it will be difficult for him. Frenkie could even start, weâll see what we decide, weâll do it this afternoon.â
Lamine Yamal
âLamine has been performing very well in recent matches, Iâm very happy with him, and what I tell him is that he has to keep doing these things. Heâs one of the best in one-on-one situations, and we have to help him and give him the opportunity. We have to play as a team; thatâs the key tomorrow. Iâm not worried about individual performances anymore. We have many high-quality players, but so do they. Iâve said that matches are often decided by moments, and I hope that one goes our way tomorrow.â
Expectations for the match
âI have a feeling it will be completely different from previous matches against them because the atmosphere in the stadium will be incredible. The fans know what they need, and it will be tough for us, but I believe in my team and what we can make happen, and itâs possible, why not? Thatâs what we have to focus on. I know weâre playing against AtlĂ©tico, a team with very good players, and weâll need to defend very strongly but also be brave in attack, to attack, press, and take advantage of every opportunity. If you look at the last match, that was perhaps the big difference between them and us. Maybe tomorrow will be completely different, and that would make me happy.â
Hansi Flick expressed his thoughts on Gavi's performance and importance to the team ahead of the crucial Champions League tie.
Flick provided updates on Frenkie de Jong's fitness and availability for the upcoming quarter-final second leg.
The match is scheduled for Tuesday night, April 14, 2026, at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid.
