After a fantastic week, it is important to be at 100 per cent tomorrow, with intensity and maximum quality," Flick told reporters on Saturday. But, like many others in sport, Flick voiced his concerns about playing during a time of tragedy after the deadliest flash floods in Spain's modern history killed at least 211 people while dozens are still unaccounted for.
