Hansi Flick, Barcelona's coach, discussed the importance of their upcoming Copa del Rey match against Atlético Madrid, labeling it a "final before the final." He praised his players for their hard work and emphasized that their achievements are not by luck. He acknowledged Atlético's strong squad and their previous successes this season, although Barcelona currently leads LaLiga and is unbeaten in their last 20 matches. The match is pivotal, as the winner will advance to face the winner of the other semifinal in the final on April 26.
We know that until now we have not reached [anything] -- OK, we won the [Spanish] Supercopa, but it's in the past -- and now we want to go to the final, but it's not easy. Atlético have a great coach with [Diego] Simeone, an experienced squad, they know how they want to play.
It's like a final before the final. They want to reach this final and it is the same with us. My team can be proud about what they're doing. We're working hard and what we achieve is not luck, they earned it. This is the positive thing.
