“We have to work on our strategy. Tomorrow, the task will not be easy, because PSG also wants the ball and press well. From the first second to the last minute, we have to play at our best level. It is the Champions League. We are Barcelona. We are favorites, but it is difficult work, a long way to go. »»
The period preceding the match was marked by injuries, both in Barcelona and in PSG. Flick gave his opinion on the right time for his team to face the giants of Ligue 1.
“You never know (if it's a good time to face PSG). It's a different competition, we faced the best team last season. I love their style. I love their players and their coach. The calendar is part of this job, the question of injuries must be managed. Each trainer wants their players to be ready to play, but that is part of the game. We hope it will be a good match. »»
