Flick Barcelona Dortmund warning

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick issued a stark warning to Europe after his side convincingly defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in their Champions League quarter-final first leg

 

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has sent a clear message to the rest of Europe’s top clubs after his team delivered a commanding 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.

The emphatic win at the Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night puts the Catalan giants in a formidable position heading into the return fixture.

Despite the convincing scoreline, which firmly places Barcelona in the driving seat to progress to the semi-finals, Flick maintained that his squad is not resting on its laurels and believes there is still scope for further improvement within the team.

“I want to keep improving. Today we saw some areas we can do better,” Flick told reporters during the post-match press conference.

“We will analyse this match thoroughly, and I will certainly commend the players for their excellent performance.

However, it’s crucial to recognise that there are still aspects of our game that we need to work on. I am very happy with the result this evening, but we must remember that this is just the first step in the tie.”

Flick’s comments suggest a relentless pursuit of perfection within the Barcelona camp, signalling a potentially ominous sign for their Champions League rivals as the competition progresses.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele has recovered from a hamstring injury and is fit to play in the crucial Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal, confirmed coach Luis Enrique

 

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has received a significant boost ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg match against Arsenal, with star forward Ousmane Dembele declared fit to play.

The announcement was made by PSG coach Luis Enrique on Tuesday, following concerns about a hamstring injury sustained by the French international last week.

Dembele was substituted in the 70th minute of the first leg in London, shortly after scoring the decisive goal in the fourth minute, leading to doubts about his availability for Wednesday’s return fixture in Paris.

He subsequently missed PSG’s Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg on Saturday.

However, Dembele has since resumed training with the team at the beginning of the week, participating fully in the sessions.

Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Luis Enrique confirmed the positive news. “He’s been training with us for the last two days,” the coach stated. “You saw him today, a normal training session for him. He’ll be available tomorrow.”

The return of Dembele is a major lift for PSG as the France international has been in outstanding form this season, leading the team with 33 goals across all competitions.

In further positive news for the Parisian club, South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in also participated in the team’s training session.

Lee had sustained a knock during the Strasbourg match but appears to have recovered in time for the crucial Champions League encounter.

With both key players back in contention, PSG will be looking to capitalize on their 1-0 advantage from the first leg as they aim to secure a place in the Champions League final.
