Flick: Barcelona face 'long road to the finish' in Champions League

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick said the team faces a "long road to the finish" in the Champions League ahead of Tuesday's away match against Galatasaray in Istanbul, following their 3-0 La Liga win over Getafe. Flick acknowledged Galatasaray's improved quality and the intimidating stadium atmosphere, stressing the need for defensive cohesion and adaptation. He noted Barcelona's perfect record this season but insisted every match is a fresh challenge requiring the same mindset. Flick confirmed summer signing Gabriel Jesus is ready to start consecutive games after scoring on his maiden start. He declined to comment on Real Madrid's refereeing complaints or Vinicius Jr.'s potential suspension for the Clasico.
