\u201cYes, we can\u2026 Yes, we can\u2026\u201d The Barcelona squad and their supporters echoed this chant as they left Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday night, fresh from their La Liga Round 31 derby win over Espanyol.<\/p>\n

The cry was more than mere enthusiasm; it encapsulated the team\u2019s mindset heading into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid, where Hansi Flick\u2019s side must overturn a two-goal deficit and secure a historic comeback at the Metropolitano.<\/p>\n
That new mindset and unshakeable confidence<\/p>\n

Flick\u2019s side know they are heading to one of Europe\u2019s most daunting arenas, where Atl\u00e9tico have lost only three of 23 matches this season\u2014one of those defeats coming to Bar\u00e7a in La Liga. Even so, the Catalans\u2019 conviction is unshakeable.<\/p>\n
Unity and cohesion within the squad<\/p>\n
Marca adds that the bond between the German coach and his squad is stronger than ever, turning the dressing room into a unified block of ambition and resolve. The players believe a landmark win at the Metropolitano is within reach, yet they know it will demand an exceptional effort and total commitment over 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

The new mantra, \u201cYes, we can\u201d, may be untypical for Barcelona\u2019s culture, yet the players have internalised it. They know a flawless display\u2014in concentration, pressure, sacrifice, solidarity and composure\u2014is essential, and Flick has driven those values home in their most recent team meetings.<\/p>\n
Behind the slogan<\/p>\n
The paper adds that Flick and his squad know technical ability alone will not suffice; progress at this stage demands suffering and heightened effort. The group is therefore priming itself mentally and physically to empty the tank in pursuit of a place in the last four.<\/p>\n
In Barcelona, nothing is deemed impossible: \u201cYes, we can\u201d is not a slogan, but a game plan set to unfold on Tuesday evening in Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Can Flick\u2019s men get the job done? \u201cYes, we can\u2026 Yes, we can\u2026\u201d The Barcelona squad and their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[179,549,92,187,93,930,301,720],"class_list":{"0":"post-3002","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-barcelona","8":"tag-atletico-madrid","9":"tag-barca","10":"tag-barcelona","11":"tag-champions-league","12":"tag-espanyol","13":"tag-hansi-flick","14":"tag-la-liga","15":"tag-spotify-camp-nou"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
