"FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick said his side is fully focused on their upcoming LaLiga match against Osasuna, with the title potentially within reach this weekend, speaking at a press conference in Barcelona on Friday. Footage from the Ciutat Esportiva training ground shows players training, boosted by the return of Raphinha and Marc Bernal to the squad. "It’s only about focusing on this game. If we win it, we’ve done our job," Flick said, adding, "We are only focused on this match." Barcelona currently lead Real Madrid by 11 points with five games left in the season. A win this weekend combined with Madrid losing points against Espanyol would secure the La Liga title with four games to spare. The Catalan side comes into the fixture on a nine-game winning streak, with Flick aiming to extend that run to ten. "At the end, when you train a club like Barca, it’s always about winning titles," he said. "You can have the best players, but to win titles, you need the best team." Flick also praised the atmosphere around the club, highlighting the commitment of players and fans alike. "Everyone is 100 per cent committed <…>, even when you lose, the support you feel is unbelievable." On youngster Lamine Yamal, who recently suffered a hamstring injury, Flick struck a positive tone, saying his recovery is progressing well and expressing confidence he will be fit for the World Cup. Despite speculation about Barcelona potentially reaching the 100-point mark this season - a feat achieved only twice before in LaLiga history - Flick dismissed the focus on records. "I’m not focused on numbers, but ideally we win every match, although we have tough opponents," he said. Barcelona are on course to win their 29th La Liga title, currently leading Real Madrid by 11 points. If they defeat Osasuna on Saturday and Real Madrid lose to Espanyol on Sunday, the Blaugrana will secure the title."
