Barcelona’s head coach Hansi Flick remains confident about his team’s chances in the Copa del Rey semifinal second leg against Atletico Madrid. He stresses the importance of believing in victory and highlights the crucial role of home fan support.
Flick refers to last season’s Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund, where Barcelona won the first leg 4-0. Despite a challenging return leg, the team managed to advance. He warns that Atletico is a strong opponent who seriously hurt Barcelona in the first match.
However, Barcelona will miss key player Robert Lewandowski, who scored twice against Dortmund but is sidelined with injury for this game. Even so, Flick believes the team can repeat the feat, encouraged by the support of the home crowd aiming for a spot in the final.
The atmosphere in the stadium and the team’s mindset to overcome difficulties are essential for a successful comeback against Atletico. This mindset is important not only for players but also for all fans awaiting Barcelona’s return to the Copa final.
