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.

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

"It's the last time we play at home and we want to win. We want to end the season as champions. We haven't lost in 2025 (in the league) and we want to keep it that way."

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

"It was incredible to see the faces, the passion of the people, how they celebrated. It was fantastic to see," said the coach.

"To celebrate year after year would be amazing. Maybe we can do it again next year. We will work for it. It's everyone's title."

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.
