Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick made a bold statement ahead of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid.

Details: After the defeat in the first match, many began to talk about the need for a “miracle” for the Catalans, but the German specialist shut down such conversations. According to Flick, the fate of a semi-final spot is entirely in his team's hands, and the Blaugrana need no supernatural intervention to achieve success.

The coach emphasized that the key to victory lies in flawless execution of their own game plan.

“A miracle against Atletico? No. If we play our best football on Tuesday, we will go through,” Flick declared.

The manager is convinced that his squad has enough potential to break down Diego Simeone's defense. This message was aimed not only at the media, but also at the players themselves, to relieve unnecessary pressure and instill belief ahead of the decisive battle.

It's worth noting that the return leg between Atletico and Barcelona is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14th, at 21:00 Central European Time.

Reminder: Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal surpassed Raul Gonzalez's record
