Hansi Flick Dismisses Barcelona Treble Talk After Copa del Rey Triumph

‎Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick, remained cautious about discussing trophies after his team secured a spot in the Copa del Rey final against rivals Real Madrid.

‎They achieved this with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

‎Barcelona is on a 21-game unbeaten run across all competitions and is the only team in Europe’s top-five leagues yet to lose in 2025 as they bid for three titles, playing some of the best football the fans have seen this season.

‎However, Flick was careful not to overstate their chances of winning the treble, urging his players to focus on a game-by-game approach while cautioning that the club has very little margin for error.

‎”I know everyone wants us to talk about the final; it’s a ‘Clasico,’ I get that, but I don’t live in the past or in the future, and our focus should be Betis, who are our next opponents in LaLiga,” Flick told a press conference.

‎”Yes, we are in a great moment but I’ve been in this business enough time to know how everything can change in a heartbeat, so we need to keep focused.

‎”Dreaming is allowed, but first, we need to work really hard and stay focused so we can keep that dream alive.”

‎Barcelona are top of the La Liga standings with 66 points, three ahead of Real, with third-placed Atletico six further points back in the title race with nine games left.

‎Real will travel to London to face Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals next week while Barca will host Borussia Dortmund.

‎They will meet in the Copa del Rey final on April 26 before they clash again at Barcelona on May 11 in a game that could decide the La Liga title.

‎”Tonight, I’ll stick with this formidable win, which made me really happy,” Flick said.

‎”Everyone can be proud of this team, we coaches are proud of this team. I am always positive, so I won’t deny that I had great expectations for this team when I arrived last summer.

‎”I told them that I was very happy, that if we played like we did that day we would win. We were brave and we knew how to suffer.

‎”It’s not easy to keep a clean sheet in this stadium; Atletico is one of the best teams in Europe. So we should be really proud.”
