Hansi Flick is expected to lead FC Barcelona against Real Madrid in the El Clásico clash at Camp Nou, despite recent reports of him coping with the loss of his father.

According to him, Flick has not travelled to Germany since the death of his father but remains focused on guiding FC Barcelona as they prepare for their La Liga decider against their rivals.
Romano wrote, “The father of Hansi Flick has passed away this morning, in the early hours before El Clásico. Flick informed both the dressing room and the board this morning, still expected to lead the team tonight.”
He added, “Hansi Flick wants to lead the team today, even after losing his father in one of the saddest moments of his life. Flick has not travelled back to Germany, helping his team until the very end and then going back to his family after that.”
TVC News Online reported that Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick, has criticised VAR intervention after a 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.
