Hansi Flick: 'We are 100% focused on the semi-final'
Ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter Milan, Barça followed Lamine Yamal into the press room at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on Tuesday.
The game in the Estadi Olímpic will be a tough one and the German is aware of the task facing his team. "Inter are one of the best teams in Europe, a difficult opponent. They don't just defend well but also counter dangerously. We have to be ready," said Flick.
"Before training we spoke about what we have to change to face Inter. We have to protect the midfield and still make it important to have the ball, defend well and commit few errors. We will have to cover all the space."
The blaugrana boss continued: "It's the semi-finals of the Champions League and both teams want to get through. We are two games away from the final and we can't be tired. Everyone is focused knows how important this semi-final is. The Copa del Rey final was demanding for us, it's true but the victory can help us. We have to give 100%."
When pressed on the effort of the 120 minutes against Real Madrid last Saturday, Flick said: "When you win a final against Real Madrid you are naturally happy and emotional. Now, we have to turn a page. We have the chance to reach the Champions League final, a dream for everyone. So, we have to focus on that be at our best."
