Barcelona coach Hansi Flick insists his team can cope with an increased workload and that he will make no excuses despite having to deal with a lengthy injury list.

Hansi Flick believes that the recovery of three players from his Barcelona squad will be like three signings for the future of the team.

Raphinha makes a strong case for being the player who has benefitted most from Barca’s managerial change from Xavi to Flick. His attitude, along with the verticality his off-the-ball running provides, is emblematic of how the former Bayern Munich and Germany coach wants Barcelona to play.
