Hansi Flick defends Barcelona’s Ballon d’Or campaign for Lamine Yamal ahead of Racing Santander clash

With the external noise surrounding awards and future venues swirling, Flick’s immediate priority remains firmly on domestic competition and managing his squad’s heavy workload. The Blaugrana manager warned his players against complacency ahead of their matchday six encounter against a spirited Racing Santander side.

“We’re not one for breaking records or anything like that, what we want is to win matches. We’re focused on winning tomorrow… we’re playing against a great opponent, who comes out with courage, attacks deep, into space… we have to be focused and show that we’re the best team in the match,” Flick concluded.
