The Catalans giants are now in an excellent position to retain their league title, but Flick says the job is not done yet and has urged his players to maintain the right attitude.

“It’s not over yet. Nine points is good, but we have to finish it off. We can’t go on with this attitude, I won’t accept it.

Until it’s over, we have to play our best, and then, too. We’re going to keep going like this, I hope we can show it on Tuesday,” he said. “We don’t think negatively, we think positively.

We’ve had injuries, we’ve recovered… we have to manage it. What we’ve achieved so far is fantastic. Now we want to advance in the Champions League.
