Hansi Flick reacted to their hard-fought victory against Atletico Madrid which furthered their journey towards a possible treble.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick addressed the treble talks after his side advanced to the Copa del Rey final following victory against Atletico Madrid.
The German tactician could win the treble in his first season at the club, as he did at Bayern Munich. They are currently the LALIGA leaders, are one of the favourites for the Champions League, and are in the final for the Copa del Rey.
However, Flick is not interested in looking so far ahead yet and said he is instead focusing on going a game at a time.

What he said
The former Germany international head coach started by praising their performance against Atletico, especially the defensive effort.
“We defended well and we did very well,” Flick said. “Everyone can be proud of this team; we coaches are. Atletico are a great team, but we have improved a lot. It’s not easy, especially here. All the players are doing well and we have controlled it.”
Asked about the treble, while he acknowledged that the fans can fantasise, he, his staff, and the players must focus on the now. He said he is fully concentrated on facing Betis in their next match, a LALIGA fixture.
“We are allowed to dream, but we have to be focused and focused on what we want. We will arrive at three or four tomorrow morning; then we have to sleep and return to training and recover. We face Betis next. The next few weeks won’t be easy, but we have a fantastic team. The club and the fans can be proud of the team.”
Meanwhile, Barcelona will face Real Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey. Los Blancos booked their ticket yesterday, after an Antoine Rudiger header in extra time helped them knockout Real Sociedad.
