Three points behind Real Madrid! AS: Flick has a plan to regain the top spot in La Liga before the end of the year

Barcelona is currently 3 points behind Real Madrid and ranks second in La Liga. "AS" reported that Barcelona coach Flick has formulated a plan with the goal of regaining La Liga's leading position before the end of this year.

Flick has suffered serious injuries in recent months, missing Yamal, Rafinha, Juan Garcia and Pedri. The team relies on Fermin, De Jong, Rashford and Lewandowski to survive.

Flick believes that all the above-mentioned injured players will return after the break between national team matches. Yamal received radiofrequency treatment this week to relieve pain; Rafinha and Juan Garcia will return immediately; Pedri's recovery is also almost miraculous and will return against Chelsea at the latest.

Supporting this plan is not only the return of injured players, but also "Barcelona's" more favorable schedule in the coming weeks. Barcelona will play three consecutive home games against Athletic Bilbao, Alaves and Atletico Madrid; while Real Madrid will play three consecutive away games against Elche, Girona and Athletic Bilbao.

Flick’s goal is to recover three points in the next six rounds. The article pointed out that Real Madrid's poor performance on the road, such as the recent 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano, and obvious weaknesses will be exposed when Mbappe does not score.

In the Champions League, Flick's plan is not so ambitious. Barcelona is currently ranked 11th in the Champions League. The upcoming away game against Chelsea will be a comprehensive test of the team's health to determine whether they can launch a sprint in the last three rounds.
