Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is determined to lead the side in Sunday's pivotal El Clasico showdown against Real Madrid, even after losing his father.

A minute's silence will honor the occasion at the Nou Camp prior to kick-off at 20:00 BST, while players don black armbands throughout the match.

Barcelona shared the news of the passing on Sunday afternoon, stating: "FC Barcelona and the whole blaugrana community extend our deepest love to Hansi Flick following his father's death.

"We stand with you in grief, and our hearts go out to you and your family in this challenging period."

At 61 years old, Flick stands on the brink of securing consecutive La Liga crowns for Barcelona with just a victory or draw versus Real.

The ex-Bayern Munich and Germany coach has lifted four trophies with the club since stepping in for Xavi back in May 2024.

Barcelona's arch-rivals Real Madrid issued a statement: "Real Madrid, along with its president and board, expresses profound sorrow over the death of Hansi Flick's father.

"Real Madrid conveys its sympathies and warmth to his family and all close to them. Rest in peace."
