The upcoming Copa del Rey final is a game that FC Barcelona will see as the potential catalyst for a treble. A win in this particular game would see La Blaugrana win the first of the three remaining major titles. However, Barcelona are well aware of the fact that it will be difficult.
For starters, Real Madrid is always a tough side to beat and El Clasico finals are never easy. While Barcelona did win the last major final that these two sides played this season, no two games are the same and Hansi Flick’s side will need to be ready for that.
However, certain unforeseen concerns that now plague this game have developed in recent hours. A major controversy surrounding Real Madrid and the current officiating team for the Copa del Rey has now become a significant problem, and it is something that is taking up a lot of the attention.
While it would be understandable to assume that the players and coaches could end up being distracted by such a problem, things are different for Barcelona. According to Toni Juanmarti’s recent update, the Barça locker room remains completely unfazed by this debacle.
“Nothing new.”
Those are the words that are reportedly coming out of the Barcelona locker room when looking at this fiasco that has been created by Real Madrid, a controversy that has even pushed La Liga president Javier Tebas to speak out against it. For the players, the final is still their only objective and they are fully focused on delivering a strong performance.
Moreover, the Barcelona locker room is already convinced that Real Madrid will end up playing the final. They believe that this entire issue is simply a facade or a circus to put pressure on the referees, and that the Catalan giants are not convinced by it.
They are looking forward to playing the final and will reportedly look to do so with a lot of grit and determination. Ultimately, that is exactly what is expected of this team being led by Hansi Flick and what is expected of any Barcelona squad when faced with such resistance.
