BARCA COACH FLICK PLAYS DOWN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLE TALK – Flick heaped praise on Liverpool who are three ahead of second-placed Barca
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has played down talk of his side lifting the Champions League trophy this year and said he was only focused on winning today’s clash at Benfica.
Flick heaped praise on Liverpool, who are top of the Champions League table with a perfect 18 points, three ahead of second-placed Barca followed by six teams on 13 points. The top eight automatically qualify for the round of 16, and the next 16 teams meet in two-legged playoffs for the right to join them. Benfica are currently 15th with 10 points.
