Flick’s side was at the wrong end of the classic because Inter claimed that a 4-3 victory was in San Siro after additional time to advance until the last 7-6 on the aggregate. Barca recovered from 2-0 deficit for the second time in a tie to lead 3-2 at the night of stop, only for the 93th minute Francesco Acerbi Equalizer and Davide Frattesia winner in the seventh minute of additional time to send Nezzurri.

The result denied Barcelona high high levels and left Flick and their players with little time to recover from an emotionally exhaustive night as they greet their rivals at the Olympic Stadium in a key game in the title race.

Barca is four points in front of Madrid at the top of Laliga, and the remaining four games and everything will be, except that the title will win with a victory.

And Flick said about thinking about his part on the eve of the visit of Los Blancos: “We are doing well, after defeating Milan everyone knows it’s not easy, but we’re doing things well. We talked about what we want to do in these two weeks.

“We have four games and Clasico who shows how well we can play. We have to show that confidence about what we want to show.

“We talked to the players to find out their feelings, we do it openly. In a game like Clasico,, We need to be 100 percent, active, with intensity, dominant.

“They are a fantastic team, but we play at home. At all times the games fans know what we need.”

Flick confirmed that the left back Alejandro Balde was suitable enough to be on the team after recovering from a knee injury.

However, neither Balde nor Robert Lewandowski, who left the bench against Inter, will not be involved from the beginning.

With the right Beles Jules Kound is still going through injuries, Eric Garcia is likely to play on the right side of the defense, and Gerard Martin will continue on the left.

“We see that both players are very professional and have improved a lot from the beginning of the season,” Flick said of Garcia and Martin.

“I’m not surprised. When you see Gerard playing in the Champions League semi -finals. He played a fantastic game.

“We miss Balde, he was at a big level. The good news is to bring him back.”
