Barcelona aim to make the impossible possible against Atlético de Madrid | OneFootball

Barcelona faces a major challenge in the Copa del Rey. After losing 4-0 in the first leg to Atlético de Madrid, the team is aiming for an epic comeback at Camp Nou. Coach Hansi Flick was direct about the mission.

“We are four goals behind, so we want to make the impossible possible. It’s not easy, but we never give up and we believe in our strengths,” said the coach on Monday.

More confidence

Confidence increased after the thrashing of Villarreal, with the first hat-trick from the young star Lamine Yamal. Flick is counting on the youngster, but is focused on the collective: “We need everyone, not just Lamine. We have to play as a unit and that is the key.”

Barça is still without top scorer Lewandowski, who is injured, but could see the return of midfielder Pedri to the starting lineup. For Flick, the intensity shown in the last match is the path to a “remontada.” The team will need to be smart not to concede goals while pushing forward in attack.
