Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has admitted he had to make a late change to his XI for Sunday’s match against Atletico Madrid.
The German was all set to start Frenkie de Jong in midfield against Diego Simeone’s side but has opted for Marc Casado instead.
Here’s what Flick said ahead of kick-off in the Spanish capital.
“We’ve prepared well for the match tonight. The only frustrating part is that Frenkie was supposed to start, but he felt some discomfort, so we had to make a change. He’s not even on the bench,” he told the media.
