Barcelona will face Atlético Madrid for the second time in just five days, following a 2-1 victory for the Catalan side on Saturday. The decisive goal in that match was scored by Robert Lewandowski in the 87th minute. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick emphasized the importance of a different approach in Wednesday’s match.
“This game will be different because it’s the Champions League,” Flick stated at a press conference. “It’s important that we trust our style of play and be compact in defense. We’ll have to be well-positioned and compact.”
Flick highlighted the crucial role of the team’s supporters, noting a strong connection with the fans at Camp Nou.
“I have the feeling that our connection with the fans is really excellent. We’ll need them,” he said, anticipating a vocal atmosphere from the tribunes. Following a series of three losses, Barcelona secured a notable win against Atlético Madrid last weekend.
The teams are set to meet again on Wednesday, with Barcelona seeking to advance in the Champions League competition.
