"Lamine is very intelligent and knows how to pace himself during matches"

Barcelona are back in action, the second game after the international break. A match which, in the run-up to the game, is marked by Osasuna's complaint about the improper lineup of Inigo Martínez.

One of the big names in that match was Gavi, who could start: "His best position for him is '6', but he has the quality to play in different positions. We want to combine him. What we did against Osasuna was to test him. I'm very happy with his performance. He has shown that he knows how to keep the ball, keep it, it was fantastic."

Lamine Yamal is another name who is looking to be a starter and who has no rest: "He's very intelligent and knows very well how to pace himself in matches. I've spoken to him, I've asked him and he's very positive. I always tell the players. If they feel something, they should talk to me and that's it. All the players spread the responsibility with their own body. If you feel something and you don't take care of yourself, anything can happen.

"We need Ansu. I know the situation he's in and I know it's not easy for him. Pau Victor and Pablo Torre trained fantastically all week and that's what I want from all the players, to show that they can play every week" said the German coach.

One of the keys to the game could be the heaviness in the legs after playing on Thursday: "It will be a big challenge. It will be like that until the end of the season. We are ready and we want to fight until the end. We are very proud of the game against Osasuna. All the players can play. Maybe we will rest one or two. They are all available."

"For the moment, I'm enjoying being coach of Barcelona. I respect Real Madrid, also Carlo Ancelotti, one of the best coaches in the world and a good person. I won't say anything bad about him and his club, but we are Barça and it's different. It's like a family, all together," Flick insisted when asked about Ancelotti's words on Friday.
