Barcelona's Champions League Hopes Still Dismissed by Flick

Barcelona achieved a dramatic 5-4 comeback win over Benfica in the UEFA Champions League, with key performances from Robert Lewandowski and Eric Garcia. Despite the victory, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick downplayed their chances of winning the tournament, highlighting Liverpool as the favorites due to their strong performance under coach Arne Slot. Liverpool remains unbeaten in the Champions League group stage and leads the Premier League. Barcelona's form in La Liga contrasts with their European success, as they struggle domestically and sit third in the standings, trailing Real Madrid. Nonetheless, Barcelona secured a spot in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals and won the Supercopa de Espana. Flick remains focused on improving team performances and securing a place in the Champions League knockout stages.
