FC Barcelona: Hansi Flick slams his players after heavy defeat to Atlético

At FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick did not spare his players following the heavy defeat on Atlético Madrid's pitch Thursday night in the Copa del Rey semi-final.

After the crushing 4-0 loss away to Atlético de Madrid, Hansi Flick let nothing slide. While he chose not to vent publicly at halftime despite the lopsided scoreline, Flick delivered a stern message to his players ahead of the next training session. The German coach reproached them for a glaring lack of team spirit, intensity, and fighting spirit during the first 45 minutes, emphasizing that the image they projected "was unworthy of a team aiming for titles". This was reported by Mundo Deportivo.

After analyzing the match, Flick deemed it necessary to set his squad straight, stressing that he could not understand how his team could take to the pitch with so little aggression against an opponent renowned for their commitment.
