Spanish club Barcelona is preparing to face Newcastle United in the return leg of the Champions League Round of 16, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg at St. James' Park, relying on the home advantage as a strong factor to secure their qualification to the quarter-finals.

In exclusive statements, Barcelona coach Hans Flick spoke about the team's preparations for this decisive encounter, emphasizing the importance of trusting the players and focusing on collective performance.

Flick commented on Voltemaid: "It is not his responsibility for the money that was paid to him, he has to play with confidence, and they know more than I do about their position on the field. He is an important player for the national team, and I wish him all the best starting tomorrow."

He continued about the first leg match against Real Madrid: "Real Madrid played brilliantly, but anything can happen in football. I will watch the game and enjoy it."

Flick added regarding penalty kicks: "I never watch them, and that works for me. I can watch the replay on the iPad, I don't like watching how the kicks are taken, it's a great feeling when the crowd cheers."

Regarding the team's tactical options and the false number 9 option: "This could be an option, in matches like these, all players are excited, we need Ferran and Lewandowski at their best until the end of the season to achieve our goals, and this is crucial for us."

Flick expressed his happiness working at Barcelona: "Clearly, I love working here, the most important thing is what I feel, that I have a big family, here I have the support of Barcelona, but this is football, I am here to help the team reach the best level, and we still have time, I am not thinking of moving anywhere else, this will be my last club, and my last job, and I am very happy with that."

He added about the young star Lamine Yamal: "Lamine is a player capable of making a difference, he trained wonderfully yesterday, the Champions League is the best competition in the world, and every player wants to participate in it, it is an additional motivation for every player."

Flick continued about facing Newcastle and the opponent's pressure: "We talked about it, we have to play with confidence, and this is important for tomorrow's match, if they play one-on-one, we will have to find spaces."

Regarding Barcelona's ambitions in the Champions League: "This is football, and things can change a lot, we have to be positive because the team has great quality, and we will see if we can win the Champions League, but we have to improve."

Flick pointed to Laporta's message to the team: "He talked a lot about Barcelona, highlighting Cruyff, the man who established the new Barcelona, as well as the philosophy and style, it's not just about winning, but how to do it, there must be team spirit, and that's the most important thing."

He completed about Laporta's visit to the team: "It's important to have a structure, we have a good structure that gives us stability, everyone was happy with the visit and it gave us good luck for tomorrow's match."

Regarding his personal renewal and talks about his future: "I think it's not the right time now, we have a very important match, everyone knows that I am very happy here, but I have to talk with my family, there will be time to talk later, not now."

Flick confirmed: "They pressed high and defended well in the last third of the field, it will be a difficult match, they are physically strong and fast in transitions, we have to deliver a perfect match, and that's what we will try to do."
