Barcelona are on the verge of clinching the La Liga title, but manager Hansi Flick is keeping his squad firmly grounded as they approach the final stretch of the season. Speaking ahead of the crucial away fixture against Osasuna, the German tactician emphasized that his team's focus remains solely on their own performance, not on what rivals Real Madrid might do in their match against Espanyol.
"We always focus on the next match. That's all that's on our minds," Flick stated, setting a determined tone. He highlighted the challenge posed by Osasuna, particularly their experienced striker Budimir, and stressed the need for Barcelona to replicate their recent strong team display. "It's going to be tough. The atmosphere there is fantastic. We'll have to play at the same level as we did against Getafe—we played very well as a unit, attacked well. I don't want to focus on other matches."
When pressed on whether Barcelona could be crowned champions depending on other results, Flick kept his response brief and clear, refusing to look too far ahead. Instead, he turned attention to the return of winger Raphinha, who has battled through a challenging season but is now back with the squad. "Rapha is one of those players who always gives 100%. His mindset and attitude are always the same—he always gives his all. He's had a tough time this season, but for us, it's important that he's back. He'll be travelling with us, and we'll see what happens tomorrow. It's fantastic to have him back," Flick said, praising the Brazilian's resilience.
The Barcelona boss also expressed full confidence in his squad's ability to compete with Europe's elite, including Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, while providing an update on Lamine Yamal's recovery. With the title within touching distance, Flick's message is clear: stay focused, trust the process, and let the results speak for themselves.
