Flick: Yamal can play. Since becoming a coach, I have never encountered a more professional player than Lewandowski.

At 4:00 a.m. on November 6, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona will play away to Bruges. Before the game, Barcelona coach Flick attended the press conference. He talked about some of the team's current situation.

About Brugge's threat

- They do have tall players and are therefore very dangerous from the aerial ball.

Let’s talk about Club Brugge

– the atmosphere there is very exciting and they will play high man-to-man pressing. Obviously, this is going to be a tough game.

About Yamal

- Whether he travels with the national team or not is not my question, he trains very well. We can't say he's 100% recovered because it's a process. But he's in good shape and ready to play.

Does the team need a perfect performance?

- I said before that this is going to be a tough game. All games are difficult and our goal is to get three points. Lewandowski is back, Olmo is back and in the last game our intensity was better than before. We want to win but all games are difficult.

About the current situation of the team

- Last season was different and there are many reasons why you can't make comparisons. We had Raphinha, Yamal... we had a lot of injuries this season, but now they are coming back, which is good news.

Regarding the risk of Casado and De Jong being suspended

- I think so, it's a risk, anyone here could potentially play tomorrow.

About Eric Garcia

- He was very good last season. This season, before the recent break, we made a lot of changes to our defense in a lot of games. I'm very happy with Eric Garcia, Cubasi and Araujo. Another option could be to use Gerard Martin at centre-back.

About Lewandowski

- Lewandowski is also excellent defensively, especially when clearing corner kicks. When you play against a good team and the score is too close, it's easier to criticize everything and see a lot of problems. I'm very happy at Barcelona and I haven't met a more professional player than Lewandowski since I became coach. He's coming back from injury quicker than expected and we need young players to be at their best. I truly love this club and these players, I feel very happy at this club and in this city and I will give it my all.
