Barcelona head into the match after coming from behind to beat Alaves, although Flick said afterwards his team have plenty to work on.
“Yes. I’m happy we won the three points, but we have to improve many things. Among other things, we had chances but didn’t finish them. And that’s what we need to improve,” he told reporters.
Atletico also tasted victory on Saturday, beating Real Oviedo 2-0, and sit three points behind Barcelona in the table.
