Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has declared his team’s intention to secure a win against Alaves on Saturday, aiming to enter the international break on a high. This comes after a convincing 5-0 victory over Young Boys in the Champions League and a recent La Liga loss, which was the first of the season for the Blaugrana.
“I don’t see any other scenario than winning tomorrow,” said Flick. “The objective is to leave with three points before the break. High intensity from the start is what we expect tomorrow.”
Despite rotating the lineup in their previous La Liga game, Barcelona are expected to field a full-strength team against Alaves. Flick assured that the team is well-rested and ready to perform at their best.
Furthermore, Flick praised their new signing, Wojciech Szczesny, who has been impressing the coaching staff with his physical condition and experience. While Szczesny will be ready to play after the international break, his arrival is seen as a significant addition to the squad, providing competition for the starting goalkeeper position.
Fans will be hoping for a strong performance from Barcelona, who are looking to maintain their 3-point lead in La Liga.
