Hansi Flick has been involved in some of the biggest games in football as a player, assistant coach and manager, but Saturday's trip to Real Madrid -- his first Clásico as Barcelona boss -- may end up topping the lot. Those who have been involved in the fixture detail a pressure, media environment and political edge unrivaled by almost any other game. Others say the tension around the match makes it impossible to enjoy the actual 90 minutes of football.

Flick has conducted himself well as Barça coach so far.
