BARCELONA coach Hansi Flick’s father has died ahead of the Clasico, the Catalan club said in a statement on Sunday.

“Barcelona and the entire Blaugrana family wish to convey our affection to Hansi Flick over the passing of his father,” said Barcelona.

“We share his pain and stand with him during this very difficult time for him and his family.”
