Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick says he will have to teach some of the players greater leadership in crucial matches as the La Liga leaders prepare to return to action at home to Celta Vigo following their very painful Champions League exit.Five-time European champions Barca suffered a surprise 2-0 home defeat to Atletico Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final first leg, going out 3-2 on aggregate after the fourth-placed team in the top flight held off their comeback attempt in the return contest.We have a young team and the elimination really hurt a lot, reflected Flick. We have to give everything for the fans.Everyone is proud of the team. Its painful but it gives us energy. We need players who can lead the team on the pitch.Its not just about talking in training, but also about showing up on the pitch in a semi-final or a quarter-final. We need players who demonstrate where to go on the pitch.Table of ContentsHansi Flick: Why Barcelona isnt just about winningBarcelona vs Celta Vigo: Madrid will fight until endRoony Bardghji: Barcelona plan talks with Lamine Yamal understudyWhen is Barcelona vs Celta Vigo?
