AI Summary

Barcelona prepares to host Real Betis in their final home match of the 2025-26 season at the Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday. With the La Liga title already secured, the Catalans seek to achieve a unique milestone: becoming the first team in La Liga history to win all their home games in a single season. Head coach Hansi Flick addressed the significance of this objective during a pre-match press conference, stating:

“You always need objectives and this is one. I know we play against a fantastic team, stable for the last few seasons. It won’t be easy, but we’re in a good mood.”

Flick also provided updates on player availability, particularly regarding Frenkie de Jong, who missed the recent match against Alaves, and Marcus Rashford, who remains a doubt for the Betis clash:

  • Frenkie de Jong: Did not play against Alaves due to feeling unwell.
  • Marcus Rashford: Could see some minutes but will not start.

Additionally, Flick discussed the future of Andreas Christensen, addressing concerns about potential departures. He expressed confidence in Christensen's commitment to the club:

“I don’t think so. In football everything is possible, but I don’t think tomorrow will be someone else’s farewell. It’s the plan (for him to stay). He will have minutes tomorrow.”

As Robert Lewandowski prepares for his final home appearance, all eyes will be on Barcelona as they aim for a historic victory.
