Wishing Pau Víctor a very happy 23rd birthday! 🎉

A new meeting with Pedri's agent will take place today to continue making progress on the midfielder's renewal. @martinezferran

‌Barcelona have been struggling to impose their style of play in the last two games, and the numbers show it.

‌Barcelona are among the five teams that have requested seats for their scouts to attend Sporting CP's Champions League match with Arsenal this week for Viktor Gyökeres.

Everything indicates that Héctor Fort will start tomorrow. @fansjavimiguel

Flick: "If you look at the data, the physical indicators are the same as in previous games. It's a question of playing better, with the ball, doing better. It has nothing to do with the physical aspect."

Íñigo: "Cubarsí? It's logical that Cubarsí is receiving praise. He's had two spectacular years. He has shown the potential he has. It's very impressive. Every match, he proves to be a player with a very clear vision who is determined to succeed. I hope to see him enjoying himself for a long time."

Flick: "It's very important to win these three points at home. We're only focusing on that; if we win, we'll be in a good situation."

Flick: "If the players believe in themselves, we will succeed."

Flick: "Has the team dropped in level? I will always look on the bright side of things: we have to learn from our mistakes and the quality of the players is very high. We will prove it again tomorrow. It's all part of the process for this young team."

Flick: "Balde had some muscular issues, which is why we thought he should rest. He's feeling better today, and I hope that for the matches after Brest, he'll be an option. He won’t be available tomorrow."

Flick: "We must learn to be more patient with the ball."

Íñigo: "The pressing starts with the players up front, and if it's not good, we at the back suffer. We all attack and defend together. Except for these last two games, the team's work has been brilliant. This is the path we need to continue on."

Hansi Flick: "We have a young team, I think the youngest in the league. We always try to play. When you're down 2-0 with one less player, you need to know how to manage the game. I could also say that in the league, there are many very tough matches. The atmosphere in Vigo was tense. That's not an excuse. We keep going and moving forward."

Flick: "I hope this is the last game Lamine Yamal misses. I hope he can play or be on the bench on Saturday."

Breaking: Hansi Flick has just announced that Alejandro Balde will miss tomorrow's game.

Ferran Torres, Eric García, Alejandro Balde and Ronald Araújo are all training with the group ahead of tomorrow's Champions League game.

Wishing Pedri a very happy 22nd birthday! 🎉

Hansi Flick sees a lack of determination and believes some players have relaxed lately. He's noticed this drop in intensity since the Espanyol derby and is especially upset by the team's lack of hunger, both in possession and pressing. Flick demands a full, focused performance, not just flashes of brilliance. @tjuanmarti

Hansi Flick had previously warned about a drop in focus after the Espanyol game, but softened his tone, hoping it was a one-off. However, after back-to-back poor performances, Flick is now taking a firmer approach. His priority is to regain intensity, especially in high pressing and recovery after losing the ball. The message is clear: the team must improve immediately, or changes will come. @javigasconMD
