Barcelona Tell Hansi Flick to Avoid Mourinho Distractions as La Liga Rivalry Looms

1 / 4

Barcelona have reportedly advised Hansi Flick not to engage in any public exchanges with Jose Mourinho following the Portuguese coach’s return to Real Madrid. Club officials are said to have briefed Flick on Mourinho’s eventful previous spell in Spain, including his rivalry with Pep Guardiola. Their instruction is reportedly clear: keep the focus on Barcelona’s matches and avoid discussing Mourinho or Real Madrid. Flick appeared to follow that approach before Barcelona’s match against Elche, redirecting a question about Mourinho to his immediate opponent. Barcelona are keen to protect their strong early-season momentum and prevent off-field controversy from becoming a distraction. Mourinho has already referenced the Negreira case while praising Flick and sporting director Deco, but Barcelona reportedly intend not to respond.
