Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is in the dugout for Sunday night’s clasico against Real Madrid following the death of his father.

Barcelona hosts Madrid at Camp Nou with the opportunity to seal a second straight Spanish league title by avoiding defeat against its fiercest rival.

The death of Flick’s father was announced just a few hours before kickoff.

Barcelona told Flick “We share in your sorrow and our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.” Barcelona and Real Madrid players wore black armbands and there was a moment of silence before kickoff.
