‘We talked about it’ - Hansi Flick says Barcelona could play La Masia XI in final games of season

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick discussed the possibility of playing a La Masia XI in the final two games of the season after wrapping up the La Liga title against Espanyol in midweek.

The Blaugrana clinched the league title and a domestic treble with two games to spare, and Flick spoke in a press conference on Saturday about giving minutes to reserves and youngsters after a long and grueling season for his most common starters.

Hansi even hinted at the chance of playing a starting lineup consisting of eleven players who come from the academy in Sunday’s match against Villarreal, but said that a decision won’t be made until the day of the game.
