"The team is the focus. How he played after [his first goal on Saturday] was great to see. I am very happy about that, but we need everyone. It's not only Lamine, we need everyone on the pitch. We are four goals behind. We want to make the impossible possible."
"A clean sheet is important, but also to believe in our strength, to believe that we can do it. I was not in this situation before, but I am not scared about this. You always have to believe. Everyone in the stadium will support us."
Barcelona faces Atletico Madrid in a Copa del Rey semi-final second leg after suffering a devastating 4-0 first-leg loss. Manager Hansi Flick stresses that while Lamine Yamal impressed with a hat-trick in Barcelona's 4-1 LaLiga victory over Villarreal, becoming the youngest player to achieve this feat in Spanish top flight this century, the team cannot depend on individual brilliance alone. Flick emphasizes collective effort and belief, noting Barcelona must maintain defensive solidity while attacking. Despite the four-goal deficit, Flick remains undeterred, referencing Barcelona's previous Champions League comeback against Borussia Dortmund. The manager will be without Robert Lewandowski but has Pedri available for the crucial match.
