Flick doesn’t view referees as an issue in Real Madrid match

Matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona frequently end with complaints about referees from fans or team representatives. However, in Catalonia, at least ahead of the game, they prefer not to focus on this.

Details: Barcelona’s head coach Hansi Flick stated that he has previously played at Santiago Bernabéu as a player and never had any issues with referees, adding that refereeing is a challenging job.

Quote: “Referees have a very tough job. My role is to prepare the players, not to focus on the officiating. I’ve had good experiences with referees and don’t have any issues. I told my team to concentrate on the game, not the referee’s work.

There’s a system for reviewing calls if necessary. I’ve played there before, and there’s never been an issue,” Flick said, as quoted by Marca.
