Barcelona lost their last league game to struggling Leganes on their home turf.

Up next for Barcelona is a home game against in-form Atletico Madrid, and it’s a clash between first and second in the league.

Speaking ahead of this game, Hansi Flick said: “It’s a high point for everyone. We have the best team.

“They have won 11 games in a row. It will be a tough game, but a nice one. We are ready.”

Hansi Flick has advised his players to take a leaf from the Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund.

He said: “Against Dortmund, we did well from the start. And we have to do the same tomorrow. Atlético scored a lot of goals in the final minutes, and we also have to be prepared. From start to finish.

“It’s the end of the year. It’s a great game. They’re one of the best rivals. But today is December 20 and we’re first in La Liga and second in the Champions League. We’re not doing badly. We lost some points against Las Palmas and Leganés, we have to get them back. The team that makes the fewest mistakes wins.

“Tomorrow is another game. We have a young team and we have to fight and improve. We want to achieve big things. But we know it won’t be easy. We have to start fighting tomorrow. We’re playing against great teams.”
