Barcelona's coach Hansi Flick knows it's a tough task ahead, but he's urging his team to “make the impossible possible” against Atletico Madrid in Tuesday's Copa del Rey semi-final second leg. Atletico dominated the first leg, scoring four goals in the first half and leaving Barcelona without a goal in a domestic match for the first time this season.

Flick remains optimistic despite the daunting deficit, emphasizing that his team won't give up. “We are four goals behind and we have to make the impossible possible. That is the objective. It’s not easy. However, we will not give up,” he said. Barcelona will be without striker Robert Lewandowski, who fractured his eye socket against Villarreal, but Flick believes the team can still pull off a comeback with the right mindset and strategy.

Flick highlighted the team's recent form, citing their 4-1 win over Villarreal, where Lamine Yamal scored a hat-trick. Barcelona will be without injured striker Robert Lewandowski, but Pedri is expected to start.

“We are four goals behind, and we have to make the impossible possible. That is the objective. It’s not easy. However, we will not give up,” the coach said.

“It is important to keep a clean sheet, but we must believe ⁠in our strength and that we can achieve it... You must always believe. For example, in each half we need to score two goals.”

Barcelona is riding high, leading LaLiga's scoring charts with 71 goals this season, and they've been on fire lately, netting seven goals in their last two games. Lamine Yamal was the star of the show against Villarreal, scoring a hat-trick in their 4-1 win.
