Hansi Flick emphasizes the need for Barcelona to be more clinical in front of goal to overcome Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Despite a strong performance in December resulting in a 2-1 loss, where Barça achieved 19 shots but failed to convert chances, Flick urges his team to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Ahead of the first leg, he praises Atletico’s strengths while also reflecting on the positives learned from their previous encounter. Player availability updates include Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo, both pivotal for the upcoming match.
This is a new game. We have to prove it. Atleti are a great team, they have invested a lot of money. They have the best defenders and the best attackers. It's going to be a tough game.
The positive thing we learned [from the defeat] is that we can play good football. What we showed there was on the highest level. We had the possibility to score one or two more goals before they scored.
We have to take advantage of the opportunity to score, the important thing is to score goals. And we have to keep in mind that it's two games and not just one.
For me, the most important thing is that [Dani Olmo] can start from the beginning, we have to look after him and that's what we've been doing.
