Quique Sanchez Flores took no prisoners ahead of the season's ultimate game between the two sides on Sunday (10 pm). And it's a whole truth and nothing but truth...
Sometimes, the most challenging part is to look yourself in the mirror and acknowledge the truth. In most cases, someone else will provide you with a bigger picture, a reality, and a rational conclusion. For Barcelona, that man was Quique Sanchez Flores.
The Sevilla boss unintentionally offered the Blaugrana a much-needed mirror ahead of their clash in the last game of the La Liga season on Sunday night (10 pm).

Asked about the sacking of his counterpart Xavi Hernandez, Sanchez Flores said something that the Catalan's president Joan Laporta should really try to comprehend and, if possible, change his patterns.
"How badly Barcelona treats its legends!" said the Seville coach, who will also not continue on the Sevilla bench next season.
"I shouldn't say it, but how badly Barcelona treats its legends, how bad, what a bad streak. It's probably a bad streak, but what a bad streak, what a bad streak... With Koeman, with Messi, with Xavi now. How bad," Quique expressed regarding the decision made by the top leaders of the Barcelona club.
The Sevilla coach said that "hopefully clubs would treat their legends fantastically well, it would be fantastic," and added: "That adds up, that's a legacy that, in the connection from leaders to fans, connects a lot: treating legends well."
The Madrid native stated that in the Sevilla-Barcelona match that closes this season, he will give "a huge hug" to Xavi and they will talk, as they have a good relationship and have always "communicated fantastically well."
Questioned about the former international midfielder and Barcelona coach, the former Watford manager indicated that "Xavi is a coach who has felt a lot for the club, has experienced many things as a player, and has done a good job as Barcelona's coach".
