FC Barcelona advances in conquered terrain. Liga leaders with three points ahead of Real Madrid, Hansi Flick's men surf on a series of nine consecutive successes in the league, and have just won their ticket for the King Cup final. Solid winner of Atlético in the middle of the week (1-0), the Catalan club confirms week after week its return to the foreground, in Spain as in Europe.
Barça does not want to leave anything to chance
The Flick method is distinguished by its rigor: sharp management of physical loads, controlled rotation, individualized monitoring of sleep or nutrition data … Nothing is left to chance.
“My dream? Play 15 more games ”said the German at a press conference, evoking without the appointment of a possible liga-culga-bite of the champions. The figures speak for him: with 82 goals scored in 29 days, Barça has the most prolific attack in the country, far ahead of Real Madrid.
Flick and Barça want to keep the course.
In Montjuïc, the collective dynamics are embodied in a well -oiled offensive animation, carried by a clinical Lewandowski (25 goals) and elements in full maturity such as Raphinha, Pedri or Lamine Yamal. The returns in the form of Christensen, Jong and Ferran Torres still add depth to a workforce that clearly rises to the approach of major meetings.
A serious opposition, but in the Catalan strings
Faced with such a machine, Betis will certainly present itself in confidence – six victories in a row in Liga – but the gap seems clear. Last January, the Verdiblancos had been swept 5-1 by this same Barça in the King's Cup. And even if the first leg in the Liga had ended up with a hung draw (2-2), the context is quite different today: Barça is launched, sharpened, and knows that each match is one more step towards history.
Pellegrini hopes to create surprise thanks to his winter recruits, especially Antony, but it is the Blaugrana club that will set the tone on Saturday evening. A success would allow him to maintain pressure on Madrid and continue, undefeated, his quest for a legendary spring.
