Barcelona coach Hansi Flick promised to work on the defense of his team next season after his team beat Real Madrid 4-3 in an exciting classic league on Sunday to put a hand in the title.
The Catalans moved to Gloria Brink the League with her victory at the Olympic Stadium, opening a seven -point gap in second place Madrid with three remaining games.
In the final stages, Madrid rejected several good opportunities to match, while on Tuesday Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona from the semifinals of the Champions League in a 4-3 victory when the defense of the Catalans collapsed.
“It has not been easy for us to work on some things in training. I know we have to improve (defensively) and we will do it next season,” Flick told journalists.
Barcelona plays with a high defensive line and Kylian Mbappe, who scored a hat-trick and two goals not allowed, and Vinicius Junior raped him several times.
At the other extreme, the talented attack stars of their team have set 16 goals beyond Real Madrid in four meetings this season, Barça triumphs every time.
The Catalans were also expelled by Inter 7-6 together and may have been the most entertaining side of Europe this season.
“For me, it’s not always fun, sometimes I really suffer a lot,” the movie admitted.
“I am very happy with what we are doing (in general) and, of course, football is a game of making mistakes.

“With luck, we can improve things and make fewer mistakes.”
Flick said he did not blame his defenders for the team’s struggles to keep the goals out, and that it was more a systematic problem.
“I think this trip we started last year, it is not over, I know we have to improve a lot in defense,” added the coach.
“It has nothing to do with the four behind. When we make mistakes, they make fantastic offensive players.”
Barcelona can conclude the title with a victory in the local Espanyol rivals on Thursday, or before if Madrid loses against Real Mallorca on Wednesday.
“It’s football, you don’t know what happens, but we are in a good position and we need three more points,” said Flick.
“This is what we want to do as soon as possible, but each game will be difficult, each opponent wants to win against us.
“But we have the quality and when we play as today, I think we can get there.”
