Barcelona coach Hansi Flick was happy after watching his team beat Osasuna 2-1 in La Liga on Saturday night to wrap up another title.
The Catalan giants are now 14 points (fourteen!) ahead of Real Madrid with only four games left to play. Barça will be crowned champions if Madrid fail to beat Espanyol on Sunday, but Flick won’t even bother to watch that game.
“I won’t watch the game tomorrow. I don’t pay attention to these things,” he told reporters.
“The important thing was to win today, not what happens tomorrow. The important thing was to do the job. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.”
“If we win, we’ll celebrate. It doesn’t matter when we win, the important thing is to get the job done.”
Flick admitted that he would probably go see the famous magician El Mago Pop in Barcelona. “I think tomorrow is the last day,” he told reporters.

Barcelona had to dig deep against Osasuna, with late goals from Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres sealing the victory. Flick says his players are in good spirits after the victory.
“Very happy for the team, for the club, for the fans. It was a very difficult game, especially in the first half. The team is happy,” he added.
“The second half was better. The changes came because Gavi had a yellow card; with Rashford we were looking for speed.”
