Flick has stated that his Barca team will continue competing for laurels until the season ends.
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has asserted that his team will continue to fight for titles until the end of the season, despite their recent dip in form.
Flick expressed dissatisfaction with Barcelona's current situation as they prepare to face Atletico Madrid in a top-of-the-table clash. The Catalan club will be aiming to avoid a third consecutive home defeat in La Liga.
After a strong start to the season, winning 14 of their first 16 matches across all competitions, Barcelona's domestic form has faltered. Sunday's 1-0 home loss to 15th-placed Leganes means they have only secured one victory in their last six league games.

"What I can feel in the city and the supporters know what the team is like. We lost five important players. (Attacking midfielder) Dani Olmo and (forward) Pau Victor are the (new) signings. The team has improved and is focused," Flick told reporters on Friday via Reuters.
"We are not happy with the situation, but we are going to fight until the end of the season. We want to win titles, but we know it won't be easy. But we want to win, that's what we want to do tomorrow," he declared.

The German coach acknowledged the need for a near-perfect performance against Atletico.
"It's the end of the year. It's a great game. It's one of the best rivals. But today is Dec. 20 and we're first in La Liga and second in the Champions League. We are not bad. We lost some points against Las Palmas (2-1 loss) and Leganes, we have to recover them," Flick added.
