"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."
"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. We have a good example, too: the game against Dortmund here last season, 4-0. Every half, we want to score two goals."
Barcelona confronts an unprecedented challenge in their Copa del Rey semifinal against Atlético Madrid, trailing 4-0 from the first leg. Coach Hansi Flick emphasizes that overcoming this deficit demands collective team performance rather than reliance on individual brilliance, despite Lamine Yamal's recent hat-trick performance. Flick acknowledges this represents uncharted territory in his managerial career but remains confident, drawing inspiration from Barcelona's 4-0 Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund last season. The team aims to score two goals per half while maintaining defensive solidity. Barcelona will face additional challenges with Robert Lewandowski unavailable due to injury.
