Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has boldly declared that he’s not letting past results against Bayern Munich affect his team’s approach in Wednesday’s crucial Champions League group stage match. The German giants have been a thorn in Barcelona’s side, winning each of their last six encounters and leaving the Catalans scoreless in the last four. It’s worth noting that Flick’s time as Bayern coach saw them deliver a crushing 8-2 defeat to Barcelona in the 2020 Champions League quarter-finals.
However, Flick insists the past is irrelevant, stating, “The past doesn’t matter, the present is what’s important.” He’s focusing on the task at hand, emphasizing that “Whatever happened in the past we can’t change, we can only influence what happens tomorrow. Of course we want to try and beat Bayern Munich.” This defiant message underscores his belief in Barcelona’s ability to overcome their recent struggles against the formidable Bavarians.
The match, scheduled for Wednesday, October 24, at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, is poised to be a thrilling spectacle. Fans in India can catch the live action on Sony TEN Network and stream it on Sony LIV at 12:30 AM IST (9 PM local time). This clash promises to be a test of Barcelona’s resilience and a chance to prove their ability to compete with the best in Europe.
