German coach Hansi Flick seeks to achieve a positive result that will help him ahead of the return match next week at Montjuic Stadium in Catalonia.<\/p>\n
In a separate context, one of Barcelona’s former stars admitted his regret for leaving the Blaugrana in 2021.
\nMoriba, the current Celta Vigo player and former Barcelona talent, expressed his regret for leaving the club in 2021, as he confirmed that it was a big mistake.<\/p>\n
Moriba said: \u201cI made a mistake when I left Barcelona. I was very young, and I felt a lot of pressure, but I want to apologize to the fans and to the club president, Joan Laporta. I hope to return again to the club of my dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cAt one point, I felt that everything was over, but now I am happy at Celta Vigo, and I want to prove that I still have the talent that everyone knew me for.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barcelona’s former sporting director Ramon Planes commented on Moriba’s departure, saying: \u201cHe is an important example for the players in the club\u2019s academy. I spoke to him a lot, and I remember how Koeman called him into his office in recent weeks and said, ‘Renew your contract, I am counting on you.’ But he decided to leave, and it was the wrong decision.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
