Hansi Flick has admitted that he is dreaming even while keeping himself grounded amidst increasing speculations about a quadruple after Barcelona’s second-leg Copa del Rey semi-final win against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Yamal was the man of the match, Ferrán Torres scored the goal, but the defensive line were the ones to keep the Blaugrana net safe helping Barcelona secure a 1-0 victory, advancing to the Copa del Rey final where they will face Real Madrid. Barcelona are currently first in La Liga standings, with the same points as Real Madrid.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Hansi Flick expressed cautious optimism amidst growing speculation about Barcelona’s chances of winning the quadruple. The team’s semi-final victory against Atletico Madrid was sealed by Ferran Torres’ first-half goal, allowing Barcelona to progress to the Copa del Rey final, where they will meet their rivals, Real Madrid.
The whole team played a very consistent match, cementing the win and denying Atletico’s attempts. This win positions Barcelona strongly in their pursuit of silverware across multiple competitions.
WHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA?
Barcelona hosts Betis on the weekend to try and create a gap between them and second place Real Madrid, before hosting Dortmund in the middle of next week for the first leg of the Champions League Quarter-Finals. They have already won one title this season, beating Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, and are active in La Liga, Copa del Rey and the Champions League.
WHAT HANSI FLICK SAID
In response to questions about Barcelona’s chances of winning all four titles, Flick said: “Dreaming is allowed, but we have to stay focused on what we want. The next weeks won’t be easy, but the players, the club, and the fans can be proud of how far we’ve come.”
WHAT NEXT?
Barcelona will host Betis and Dortmund in the coming week. They are also preparing for the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid later this month. Flick has made it clear that his team remains committed to taking each game step by step, refusing to be distracted by long-term speculations.
Barcelona, under Flick’s leadership, continues to navigate a potentially historic season, with their eyes set on a possible treble while focusing on immediate fixtures and maintaining their form in La Liga.
