**Milan, Italy** – With just 24 hours to go before FC Barcelona’s crucial Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan, coach Hansi Flick stressed the importance of teamwork and enjoying the game in his pre-match press conference. While acknowledging the exceptional talent within the squad, including rising star Lamine Yamal and the returning Robert Lewandowski, Flick repeatedly emphasized the collective effort needed for victory. He stated, “We have exceptional players, but it’s the team that is most important.”
Flick also addressed the defensive vulnerabilities exposed in the first leg, stating that improvements are needed and that “we all have to be involved in our defensive tasks.” He remained tight-lipped about potential replacements for injured full-backs Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde, refusing to reveal his starting lineup.
