Don't you realize that the backbone of Cubarsí-Pedri-Raphinha-Lamine played less than half the minutes in Champions League 25/26 than 24/25?
If there is one defender Barcelona should look at with that high line it's definitely Micky Van de Ven. Probably the only club that can unlock his full potential
Barcelona is slowly building a dynasty just like Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls, while other teams are simply hiring to get immediate results. Now, the biggest enemy of Barcelona is Barcelona itself to self sabotage. Let Flick do his job, he is our Phil Jackson!
Victor Osimehn is a no-brainer. Barcelona should definitely be looking towards getting him.
Victor Osimehn should be FC Barcelona go to striker
Barcelona❤❤
This team was put together ith scraps. Lol left over striker, no defense and a lot of academy youngsters. Yet play the best football in Spain along real sociedad and the national selection teams shows it. No to mention they have to play a certain attractive way. They do need better defender and striker to compete in europe, that's a no brainer, but compare to the madrid and atletico squads, barca is actually overachieving and makes two league titles in a row even more impressive
Ernesto Valverde’s case was different. He was successful and deserves credit for winning trophies, including back-to-back league titles, but the issue was never only results. His Barcelona played with more control, defensive solidity, and caution rather than the aggressive, attacking identity many supporters associate with the club. It was an effective team, but not one that fully reflected Barça’s traditional style. At Barcelona, how you win often matters almost as much as winning itself. That same standard has applied to other coaches as well, including Xavi. Results are important, but the club’s identity and style of play always remain part of the judgment. And Hansi knows it. And he delivers
Calling Ernesto Valverde's barca an amazing team and only not remembered for the ucl performances is completely wrong. Barca fans hated Valverde because of the style of football. We played bad but had world class players like Messi, Suarez (hit and miss), Busi and Pique to carry us
the only reason barca did not win the cl is uefa and the referees, they should have won last year and this year would get to the final at least
Ernesto's Barcelona wasn't anywhere near exceptional. They had one of the oldest squads on fat wages and Ernesto/Bartomeu baby sat them.
I’ve been a Barca fan for more than 30 years and it doesn’t drive me crazy… I’m very happy with our last two seasons.
Barca is a young team, except Lewy and Szczęsny; most players can play for many years. That means, hopefully, more La Liga titles. Barca's problem is that they are so cash-strapped that they cannot bring in quality players. Compare Barca's player fund to those of Real Madrid, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and PSG.
mf said Barca 2019 TEAM was amazing. Brother.. It was a One-man Army team bro.
With neutral refs this team would have played two UCL finals back to back. PSG is maybe scary for slow teams but Barcelona is even more crazy and had a chance last year to win if not for UEFA MAFIA.
Ernesto had money to burn and resulted in flick inheriting a financial ruined Barca who spent less than 60 mil in 2 seasons , you guys just talk without context.
Valverde, pep,Enrique those 3 coaches have Messi played for them,with that in mind i really think flick is almost outperforming them, if he can add the champions league to all he's done already he'll the best coach baca had!
2 #NADAPLETES 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Hansi ❤
THANK YOU Golazo for focusing on Barça 🏆 unlike all the other networks that can only talk about Madrid 💩!!
In terms of strikers, Barça need an aerial threat on crosses & corners, so I don't like the Julian Alvarez convo… although he does fit the Barça DNA.
Honestly Flick has outperformed Enrique or Gaurdiola just because Flick is using teanagers to archive same feats and trust me ICL is when not if…
9:00 the other center back is already on the squad, Gerard Martin. But sure, we definitely need someone else too for depth.
Congratulations Barca, Hansi has done well in his time there. But Jesus is the Truth.
You guys are soooo much better than ESPN.
2019 team that lost to Liverpool 4-0 were not better than 2025 Barcelona, valverde was carried by Messi and let down by his teammates during that game
Victor oshimen Abeg😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Remember after losing the Classico in Madrid trailing several points, Real imploded, Barca gained momentum big time
Barcelona still can reach 100 points 🔥🔥🔥
Flick has done better with Barcelona than Enrique did. Under Enrique, Barca were amazing for one calendar year, 2015. As far as attacking, no club team has ever reached that level. However, Barca were largely underwhelming after that. Despite that crazy comeback against PSG, people forget that Barca lost their two away knockout game by a combined score of 7-0. And they never even made it past the quarters after 2015. Flick is dominating La Liga with no spending. Barca are resigning to selling rejects like Rashford, Cancelo…past their prime players like Lewy, Szcezny…and playing young academy players like Cubarsi an absurd amount of minutes despite showing that he probably isn't ready for it. Give Flick a world class attacker–preferrably a CF–and an elite CB, Barca become the second best team in football after PSG.
Gerard martin is disrespected by these analysts because he doesn't have a big name . That guy has been very consistent ,very solid defender .
Flick took charge a Barcelona team that if not worst of it’s history at least worst in 50 years. Inexperienced, out of form on the pitch(2 titles in 5 years), no stars alongside Levy, Pedri, De Jong and Ter Stegen, a bunch teens and critical financial disaster. Unable to signing players but still won five titles within two years including back to back league titles. Inexperiences, injuries in critical time, some bold decision and unluck cost him UCL. But what he has done is absolutely incredible.
Out of all the Barcelona teams I have warched winning or not winning, this Flick Barca is a breath of fresh air in terms of total football, Barca has had great playmakers Xavi Iniesta and Busi, but this Barcelona is exciting when in full flow, this season Kounde and Balde were not up to the level but once they are locked in, we know damn well we can go against any team in Europe and outscore you, I hope they can sign a Bastoni, Rushford, Cancelo, Alvarez this summer, even though I know it’s impossible that we get them all, but Barcelona today is way better than the one before and post Messi,,,,,,now we can play without having to pass the ball around when Messi is marked or low blocked. Its’s just brilliant thank you so much Hansi! Rest in Peace to his father as well 🔴🔵
“Ernesto Valverde’s Barça team was extraordinary”, brother they were solid but CLEARLY a DEVIATION from our philosophy. Much more defensive and speculative. Many hard to watch games. Messi was the spectacle. But please, Flick is way more true to the nature of attacking and pressing than Ernesto. This has to be ragebait.
Valverde's Barça wasn't as great, it was highly carried by Messi
Barcelona fans want to enjoy football and win titles… Flicks and Yamal give us that.
Whoever the guy with the Real Madrid shirt on sounds like a moron. He said once Barca get better players they will be scary. WTF is he talking about?? They don't need better players. Whose better?? You mean adding all kinds of "better players" like Madrid has with Mbappe, Vini, Bellingham?? Barca has the most well rounded team in world football. No other team has 7 players in double digits scoring. They talk about Barcelona having to rely on La Masia as if they are pulling players from the MLS. La Masia is the best "farm system" in the world. They produce ready made elite talent. Barca would not be Barca without it. It is also the reason why they are so tight as a team. Screw any "better" player coming in. Alvarez is a great player but he has less goals than Ferran. He is NOT worth 100 million. He has won ZERO trophies with AM.
Let’s put some respect on Gerard Martins name. He can look shaky but he’s been absolutely solid with Cuba!
Great Title achievement.
But We might never see Barcelona dominating Europe ever again.
Lack of Money and no experience player's has shown interested in Joining anymore.
Now it's been decades and far away from European Glory. This is sad at the end of day.
The Job Hansi Flick has done with this Barcelona team is just incredible. As a long time Barca fan I believe he is in the same category as Pep and Luis Enrique for the fact he’s got the worst squad compared to the teams from 2009 to 2017. People will always bring up the champions league failures but to me winning a back to back La Liga and playing in a certain way, also been to champions league quaters and semis are all overachievement. If the board can back to reinforce the defence and a clinical striker, Flick will take this team to the next level.
As a Barcelona fan, I can assure you most of us didn't like the play-style when Valverde was the coach, Messi carried that team to success single-handedly with some odd contributions from Suarez and ter Stegen. This flick Side is the one I love the most in my lifetime. I am sorry, but I can not look past how much all the recent UCL winners have spent. This team has fought well above their means, no matter how much you guys try to undermine that, I will not join that train.
