Barcelona welcomes Celta Vigo On Saturday at 16.30, local time, an exit calendar with which the German coach was not impressed.
“For me, the boys responsible for this, I want to discuss with them … I don’t want to do excuses or complain,” said Flick, before they complain: “I’m glad we don’t play on Sunday at 14:00 against Valladolid. But why can’t we play at 18:00 as normally?
