Flick: Losing football matches is normal, winning games is never easy

Flick attended the press conference ahead of the match against Valencia, where he said Real Madrid's defeat to Betis was not a warning sign and that losing in football is normal. If Barcelona defeat Valencia away from home in this round, they will move alone to the top of La Liga.

Unlike a previous press conference, when Flick chose not to discuss Real Madrid, this time he briefly talked about Mourinho's Real Madrid losing to Betis. He did not view the defeat as a warning sign, but rather as a normal situation in football.

Flick said: "Real Madrid played well and created chances. This is football, anything can happen."

Flick emphasized: "The team and the coaching staff must focus on ourselves, focusing on our style."

He said: "The upcoming matches are difficult, but we will not make excuses. We must be prepared, and playing at Mestalla is not easy."
