Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has sparked reactions after making a blunt and humorous remark about Real Madrid during his press conference after Barcelona victory against Osasuna on Sunday.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Sunday, Flick was asked whether he would be watching Real Madrid’s match. The German coach responded without hesitation: “I will not be watching Real Madrid, that’s not for me.”

“If anything happens, they’ll let me know in our WhatsApp group,” he added.

While the remark carried a humorous tone, it also underscored Flick’s focus on his own team’s preparations rather than external fixtures.

Managers at the highest level often monitor rival teams closely, but Flick’s response suggested a deliberate effort to keep attention within his own camp.

Barcelona moved to within two points of claiming a second successive La Liga title with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Osasuna to move 14 points clear at the top.

Hansi Flick’s side will be confirmed as champions if Real Madrid do not win at Espanyol on Sunday.


If Real win, Barcelona will wrap up the league title by avoiding defeat at home to Real on 10 May.

Saturday’s match at Estadio El Sadar was a tight affair until substitute Marcus Rashford dropped a pinpoint cross on to the head of striker Robert Lewandowski.

Five minutes later midfielder Fermin Lopez threaded a pass through the Osasuna defence for Ferran Torres to slot beyond goalkeeper Sergio Herrera.

Osasuna replied almost instantly as Abel Bretones’ wonderful cross was headed home by Raul Garcia.

Barcelona held on to take their winning streak in the league to 10 games.
