LISBON (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has played down talk of his side lifting the Champions League trophy this year and said he was only focused on winning Tuesday's clash at Benfica and working on areas where they could improve.

Flick heaped praise on Liverpool, who are top of the Champions League table with a perfect 18 points, three ahead of second-placed Barca followed by six teams on 13 points.
