BARCELONA: Barcelona players celebrated the club鈥檚 28th LaLiga title with thousands of fans in an open-bus victory parade on Friday, but coach Hansi Flick was quick to remind them that the season was not over.

Flick, who has led Barcelona to the league title, Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup in his debut season, said he needed his players to focus on finishing the campaign on a high.

鈥淵esterday was a day of celebration and rest. A lot of players went out partying, but whoever can party can work, it鈥檚 not an excuse. I want to finish the season as we started it,鈥� Flick told reporters on Saturday, a day before hosting Villarreal.

鈥淚t鈥檚 the last time we play at home and we want to win. We want to end the season as champions. We haven鈥檛 lost in 2025 (in the league) and we want to keep it that way.鈥�

Flick said he was overwhelmed by the passion of the supporters during the celebrations.

鈥淚t was incredible to see the faces, the passion of the people, how they celebrated. It was fantastic to see,鈥� said the coach.

鈥淭o celebrate year after year would be amazing. Maybe we can do it again next year. We will work for it. It鈥檚 everyone鈥檚 title.鈥�

Flick said his team would face a difficult task against fifth-placed Villarreal, with the visitors looking to ensure Champions League qualification with a top-five finish going into the last two matches of the campaign.

鈥淲e鈥檙e playing against great teams and Villarreal have done a fantastic job, they have won their last four games. You can see the hand of their coach and they have key players,鈥� he added.

Asked if he could start with 11 home-grown players on Sunday, Flick said the idea had been discussed at the club.

鈥淭o be honest, we鈥檝e talked about it internally, but we haven鈥檛 decided. It could be. We鈥檒l wait until tomorrow to see how the team is,鈥� he said.
