Barcelona coach Hansi Flick asked on Friday to meet Liga officials for what he called a “joke” calendar, saying that Spanish football does not take care of the players. The Liga des Giants Catalan match at Real Valladolid on Saturday May 3 will start at 9:00 p.m. (1900 GMT) after being moved from the start of the afternoon on Sunday, May 4. This re-en-sealing always gives them less than three days to prepare for the semi-final of the Pivotal Champions League.
“I want to see this guy who is responsible for it. For me, it’s a joke,” said Flick at a press conference on Friday.
“It’s incredible and we don’t have time to rest … The guys who are responsible for it, I want to chat with them, because they have no idea what it is.”
The Champions League is one of the three tournaments in which Barcelona is in competition, exacerbating the challenges linked to the congestion of the luminaire that Flick knows after a trophy spell in Bayern Munich.
But the German manager said that the situation facing his team before a huge European match left him “speechless”.
“I have never had this before. Each league protects its clubs when it plays in the Champions League, especially in the semi-final,” he said.
“Bundesliga, Premier League, take care of clubs. But here not. It’s just let them play.”
Flick was expressed before Barcelona organized Celta Vigo on Saturday with the possibility of extending his advance on Real Madrid seven points at the top of the Liga.
Barcelona also seeks to bounce back after a 3-1 defeat in Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-final of the Champions League on Tuesday gave them its first defeat in 2025, although the Blaugrana increased towards the 5-3 semi-finals on the aggregate.
