"These things happen. I'm not happy, Flick told reporters on Friday. We have to talk about what we can improve. That is always my responsibility. It's not on the medical staff or the physios – it's my responsibility. I want to talk to the doctors, the physios and the technical staff to see what we can do better."
"Barcelona's game at Bilbao is a game in hand and marks an important moment to keep their rivals at arm's length in the run-in. Barca suffered injuries to defenders Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde during their 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinal on Tuesday, a result that was not enough to overturn a four-goal deficit from the first leg."
"There's still a long way to go until the end of May. There are many games left. On Tuesday, we had two more injuries – We have to deal with it and move on. We need to stay optimistic. This gives other players the opportunity to show how good they are."
