What do Barcelona say before the Betis test?
“We are not unbeatable because we have lost games (before),” said Pedri, midfielder in Barcelona. “There are things to improve, and we have to be self -criticism. But we are in great shape and full of confidence.
“I think that high pressing is something that defines us. This line forward, the intensity with which we play, remaining calm on the ball … The attackers make the difference, and it shows. ”
What are the chances of triple Barça?
Barcelona’s offensive prowess stand out as they head the Laliga score table with 82 goals – 20 more than Real Madrid.
If Barça has to claim a hat -trick – in the first season of the Boss Hansi Flick – they will probably have to beat Madrid at least twice, in the final of Copa del Rey on April 26 and in Laliga in May. There is also the potential of a “classico” in the Champions League final.
Real has failed to beat their rivals in Laliga so far this season, attracting their two matches with Atleti and suffering from a 4-0 humiliation at home against Barça. They had to go through the playoffs to reach the direct elimination towers of the Champions League.

“I know that everyone wants us to talk about the final, it is a” classico “, I understand this, but I do not live in the past or in the future and our goal should be Betis, who are our next opponents in Laliga,” said Flick at a press conference.
“Yes, we are in a big moment, but I was in this company enough time to know how everything can change in the blink of an eye, so we have to stay focused.
“The dream is allowed, but we must first work very hard and stay focused so that we can keep this dream alive.”
