Hansi Flick says Barcelona must keep concentration to end LaLiga winless streak
Barcelona need to maintain their focus till the end of games to ensure they stop dropping points in matches they should have won, coach Hansi Flick said on Saturday, after his team slipped to third in LaLiga due to a four-match winless streak.
Barcelona, who host 19th-placed Valencia on Sunday, were held 1-1 at Getafe last weekend despite dominating possession and having twice as many shots as their hosts.
“In Getafe it was our fault, that we didn’t finish the game with the three points, we didn’t play very well, we weren’t focused. That has to change,” Flick told reporters.
“We have to be focused from the start and until the end.”
Barcelona bounced back with a 5-4 win at Benfica to reach the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday, but Flick is expecting a tough game against relegation-threatened Valencia, who are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions.
