FC Barcelona Coach Hansi Flick Loses Father Ahead Of El Clasico Clash
FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has lost his father ahead of Sunday’s crucial La Liga clash against Real Madrid.
Barcelona confirmed the sad news in a statement released on Sunday, sending support to the German manager and his family.
The club said it stands with Flick during the difficult period following the death of his father.
Flick, 61, is close to leading Barcelona to another La Liga title after an impressive season in charge of the Catalan side.
Barcelona currently sit 11 points ahead of Real Madrid with four matches left to play. Avoiding defeat against their rivals will be enough to secure the league title.
The Blaugrana could also match the all-time La Liga record of 100 points if they win their remaining matches this season.
Barcelona may also become the first club to win every home match in a 38-game La Liga campaign if they beat Real Madrid and later defeat Real Betis Balompié.
Meanwhile, tension continues to rise around Real Madrid after a disappointing season that may end without a trophy.
