"We win games and that's what matters to us," he said. In La Liga, I know we have won eight, which is a record in itself.
Our goal is to claim the championship in all the competitions in which we participate. Because we have a very competitive team, because we have a team with very high salaries and because the work done in the summer was fantastic; Deco and his team did a fantastic job. We have a very competitive lineup and current expectations are high, very high. "We have started La Liga well and we will be here in February for the Super Cup."

So, naturally, when we win, we will set that goal for ourselves."

It's one of those tournaments that you love to play in because it's such a great atmosphere. Flick knows this team better than anyone. If he says he sees ambition in the team, it's because he feels it. He evaluates this in every training session and when he is with his coaching staff and players. Yes, he feels everything."
Laporta also had a clear position about the chances of winning the European Champions League: "We are one of the contenders. "I consider ourselves contenders and we have set the Champions League as one of our goals this season."
