Sun Mar 30 13:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Barcelona Manager Confident Despite Packed Schedule and Osasuna Appeal
**Barcelona, Spain** – Barcelona manager Hansi Flick expressed confidence in his team’s ability to navigate a demanding end-of-season schedule, despite facing six matches in just 17 days. The La Liga leaders, boasting 63 points, are vying for silverware on three fronts and face Girona on Sunday with minimal recovery time after their 3-0 victory over Osasuna.
Flick acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating, “It will undoubtedly be a great challenge… but we’re ready and want to fight until the end of the season.” He reported no new injury concerns within the squad.
The manager remained noncommittal regarding Osasuna’s appeal to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), which contests the eligibility of Barcelona defender Iñigo Martínez due to a prior injury that kept him out of Spain’s recent matches. Flick deflected the question, stating, “It’s not in my hands; we’ll have to wait and see. I don’t know anything else.”
Despite the intense fixture congestion, Flick remains optimistic, emphasizing the importance of winning every remaining game to secure their objectives. ESPN’s Shaka Hislop, meanwhile, believes Barcelona should not face any punishment in the matter of Martínez’s playing time.
