Hansi Flick has decided, substitute in el Clásico, what was seen against Olympiacos isn't enough

FC Barcelona has achieved a new victory in the Champions League by defeating Olympiacos 6-1. The team's overall level has been outstanding, showing total efficiency. Despite the intensity of the Greek team, Hansi Flick's men were far superior and barely conceded any notable chances.

However, the German coach, aware of the importance of the match, fielded his best starting eleven to avoid any scares. Barça showed their best version in ball circulation and controlled the pace of the match from the opening whistle. Fermín was the best, but Rashford, Lamine, and Pedri also excelled.

El Clásico awaits and Hansi Flick makes decisions

With this win, Barça faces with full confidence the great challenge awaiting them this Sunday: El Clásico against Real Madrid. The atmosphere in the locker room is one of total optimism and, in addition, Hansi Flick will be able to count on the recovery of several players. However, the German has also used the Barça-Olympiacos match to make important decisions ahead of the clash at Bernabéu.

Despite the victory over Olympiacos, not all players have convinced the coach. Overall, the collective performance was solid, but Hansi Flick expects a higher level of intensity and efficiency in El Clásico. He knows that Real Madrid doesn't forgive mistakes and that any detail can make the difference in a match of that magnitude.

Dro Fernández is liked, but not convincing

The spotlight has been on Dro Fernández, who started as the '9'. The youth academy product has shown flashes of quality and great mobility, but he hasn't fully taken advantage of the golden opportunity he had. His performance was correct, but not decisive enough to keep the starting spot in the most important match of the season.

For that reason, Hansi Flick has decided that Dro Fernández will be a substitute in El Clásico. The coach believes that, despite his talent and potential, the match against Real Madrid requires experience and composure in decisive moments. The one chosen to lead the attack will be Ferran Torres, who has already received medical clearance and played a few minutes at the end against Olympiacos.

Ferran Torres, the one responsible for the goal in El Clásico

Barça's number 7 is ready for Sunday. Hansi Flick fully trusts his ability to make a difference and provide attacking solutions against a defense as demanding as Real Madrid's. That's why, barring a major surprise, Ferran Torres will be a starter in El Clásico.

This decision confirms Hansi Flick's philosophy, which bets on immediate performance and meritocracy. Dro Fernández will remain an important piece in the rotation, but El Clásico demands the presence of the most experienced players. The German coach doesn't want surprises and knows that, with Ferran Torres leading the attack, Barça can be more direct and dangerous.

It's clear that the win over Olympiacos leaves a sweet taste in the Barça environment. The team arrives at Bernabéu with high morale, their play improving, and the squad almost complete. The big question has already been answered: Dro Fernández will wait for his chance from the bench, while Ferran Torres will be the attacking reference.
