Hansi Flick considering the possibility of fielding the same Barcelona starting eleven that won El Clasico against Inter Milan | OneFootball

The final stretch of the season has already come for Barcelona, and Hansi Flick seems to be ready for it. These upcoming fixtures could make or break this season, and that itself is the riskiest task to take on. However, if Hansi Flick and Barcelona have showed anything this season, it is that they are an insanely resilient team.

That much was clear to see as Barça came back from being 1-2 down in the Copa del Rey final to beating Real Madrid with a score-line of 3-2. With that triumph, one that officially made Barça this year’s Copa del Rey champions, the momentum and determination at the club is greater than ever.

It is one thing to win a final in sensational fashion, but it is entirely another thing to do so against your biggest rivals. However, Barcelona still have more to aim for this season than just that game. While it is still an important victory, there are still two other titles at stake right now and the UEFA Champions League is the immediate priority for now.

With the next game for FC Barcelona being against Inter Milan at the Montjuic Stadium, La Blaugrana have to be ready. To do so, as reported by Toni Juanmarti, Hansi Flick reportedly tried out the same starting eleven in training recently that he deployed against Real Madrid for the Copa del Rey final.

The update suggests that while the cameras were not on the pitch, Flick was trying out that exact starting eleven and he is considering the possibility of fielding them against Inter Milan. This could include the likes of Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Jules Kounde, Gerard Martin, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, and Wojciech Szczesny.

However, it also states that the final decision will depend on the overall level of energy or fatigue that the players are feeling heading into the game. After all, the players were pushed to their limits against Real Madrid in their recent game as it dragged on into extra time as well.

Ultimately, the choices that Flick will make in terms of his starting eleven will likely depend a lot on the physical condition of his players. Ideally, he would want to field his strongest possible eleven, but it would be wise to consider the safety and health of his Barcelona squad as well.
