National News – Hansi Flick has stirred conversation in La Liga after bluntly stating he would not watch Real Madrid’s next match.

The Barcelona manager made the remark on Sunday following his side’s 2-1 victory over Osasuna, explaining that his focus remains firmly on his team rather than their closest rivals.

He joked that updates would reach him through a WhatsApp group if anything important happened.

The comment came shortly after Barcelona strengthened their title charge with a hard-fought away win.

The result moved them 14 points clear at the top of the table, putting them within touching distance of securing back-to-back league titles.

Flick’s remarks, though lighthearted, highlighted a deliberate strategy: maintaining internal focus during a critical stage of the season rather than being distracted by rival fixtures.

Barcelona’s victory was sealed through clinical moments in the second half.

Substitute Marcus Rashford delivered a precise cross that Robert Lewandowski converted with a powerful header.

Minutes later, Fermin Lopez set up Ferran Torres, who calmly finished past goalkeeper Sergio Herrera.

Osasuna responded quickly, with Raul Garcia heading in from a well-placed cross, but Barcelona held firm to extend their winning streak to 10 matches.

The implications of the result are significant. Barcelona could officially clinch the title if Real Madrid fail to win their upcoming fixture against Espanyol.

However, if Madrid secure victory, the title race will shift to a decisive clash on May 10, where Barcelona only need to avoid defeat to confirm their dominance.

Flick’s approach reflects a broader coaching philosophy centred on discipline and consistency.

By avoiding distractions and keeping his squad focused, he appears intent on guiding Barcelona to a successful conclusion of the campaign.

His remarks may have raised eyebrows, but they underline a calculated mindset during one of the most crucial phases of the season.
