FLICK URGES BARCELONA TO STAY FOCUSED – The team moved to the brink of the LaLiga title with a 4-3 victory over Real Madrid
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick urged his players to remain focused and avoid any premature celebration as they moved to the brink of the LaLiga title with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Real Madrid.
Barca overcame a two-goal deficit as they earned their fourth consecutive win over Madrid in all competitions this season. Barcelona, now seven points clear at the top, could secure the LaLiga title as early as Wednesday if Real Madrid fail to win at Mallorca.
However, regardless of Real’s result, a Barcelona victory in their city derby against Espanyol on Thursday would clinch the championship for the Catalans.
Flick praised his players for their resilience in fighting back from two early goals by Kylian Mbappe to secure a crucial win that left Madrid on the verge of a trophyless season.
