FC Barcelona plays three important games within seven days. That is why head coach Hansi Flick wants to use a drastic measure.
The tightly knitted schedule in professional football is currently hardest to meet FC Barcelona. Barca contested three important competitive games within seven days – and immediately after an international break in which stars like Raphinha and Ronald Araújo have to travel around half the world.

Hansi Flick fights for the championship with FC Barcelona
Head coach Hansi Flick also challenges that Barca has to deal with three games within seven days in the fight for the Spanish championship within seven days. As the Spanish newspaper writes sport , the native of Heidelberg wants to react to this with strong rotation.
Before the game on Thursday, not a single training session with the entire squad will be possible, for example, superstar Raphinha only plays with Brazil against Argentina on Wednesday night.
Break for numerous stars?
Because of these requirements, Flick wanted to offer two “very different line -up” against Osasuna and Girona (Sunday). For example, the newspaper expects Eric García, Fermín or Ferran Torres in the starting eleven to Osasuna, while Araújo and Raphinha should be there again on Sunday. On Thursday, some Spain stars such as Pedri, Lamine Yamal or Dani Olmo could also get a break that were required in the Nations League against the Netherlands.
In both league games there is a lot at stake for the Catalans. After 28 match days, the club sits in place in front of Real Madrid, and also has the aforementioned catch -up game in the hindquarters. In the event of a victory, Barca would further expand his lead.
After the league games against Osasuna and Girona, Barca is already on the program for Barca on Wednesday at Atlético Madrid. The last encounter in the Wanda Metropolitano won Flicks Elf 4-2.
