Flick and Joan García: Barcelona must show they've learned from mistakes

“We know how to improve, when to press. We had time to analyze and I think, in the last games, it was clear that we took a step forward (…) especially by realizing that sometimes we pressed when we were not fully organized,” García explained in a press conference on the eve of the clash against the English team.

“As I said after the elimination [in the Copa del Rey against Atlético de Madrid], it served for us to learn. We are a young team and I especially have not experienced many confrontations of this level. So, we have to learn from it,” stated the goalkeeper.

Flick agreed with the analysis and asked the players to remain true to their style of play.

“The Premier League is the best league in the world. They have very strong teams with many resources. We have a lot of quality. We want to continue playing as Barça knows how to play and show this to our fans,” he declared.
