Regarding the upcoming match against Girona, Flick emphasized that his focus is solely on the challenge ahead, acknowledging that it will be far from easy.
"It will be a very important match, like all the others. There are 10 league matches left. I think all clubs operate the same way. They have to answer to their team and their fans, and that's what's important. I'm focused on the Girona game; the rest doesn't depend on me."
As mentioned, Flick declined to comment on the Osasuna incident, stating that it is not his responsibility to address such matters.
"I'm focused on the next game. We have a lot of games ahead. It's not in my hands; we'll have to wait and see, and if anything changes, Deco or whoever will let us know. I don't know anything else."
🚨 Hansi Flick on Ansu Fati’s situation: “Each player has to give his 100% every day, every week, to give and show us, the coaches and everyone else, that they deserve to play”.

Speaking about Barcelona's biggest rival, the German coach expressed his respect for Real Madrid and its manager, Carlo Ancelotti.
"I'm very happy and I really enjoy being Barcelona's manager and working for Barça. I'll tell you something about Real Madrid and Barcelona. I respect Real Madrid and Ancelotti. Ancelotti is one of the best managers in the world and a great person; I've never thought anything negative about them. But we are Barça, and I'm very satisfied. I see the bonds, La Masia; you get the feeling of being part of a family... and it's very important that we're all in this family dynamic. It's difficult to bring everyone together, and I feel very good."
