Barça slipped to a 0-2 defeat at the Spotify Camp Nou in the first leg of their quarterfinal tie last week, with Pau CubarsĂâs dismissed in the first half before goals from JuliĂĄn Ălvarez and Alexander Sorloth handed los Colchoneros the upper hand.
âWe have to focus more on a strong performance, not the result, because when we play well then we are also able to score goals,â the 61-year-old explained on Monday.
âI have the feeling that this is totally different because the atmosphere in the stadium will be unbelievable. The fans know what happens and what is necessary, so itâs tough for us but I believe in my team and I believe that we can make it happen. Itâs possible â why not?
Barcelona responded well to last weekâs defeat, moving nine points clear of Real Madrid in the LaLiga standings with a 4-1 victory against Espanyol in the Saturdayâs derbi barcelonĂ. Flick says that what he saw from his side in that game âis important for tomorrow.
âI can say it after the victory against Espanyol. the connection between the team and the supporters is unbelievable. It shows also to the players the respect that they give to us about the performance we did in the last one and a half years. This also maybe has a positive effect for the team because here, tomorrow everyone is important.
The second leg is scheduled for Tuesday, following the first leg match.
