According to reports, fate has arranged for this milestone to be achieved in his home country, Germany, against a team he knows well. Flick has proven in just 50 games that his appointment by Joan Laporta, with Deco’s recommendations, was the right decision. Laporta decided not to continue with Xavi Hernández and instead appointed Flick, bringing a major shift in Barcelona’s trajectory.

Flick arrived at Barcelona fully aware of the club’s financial constraints and was prepared. He knew signing big stars was not feasible and only welcomed the additions of Olmo and Pau Victor as new signings. He meticulously analyzed the squad and trusted the potential of La Masia graduates. Flick believed that with changes in training methods and tactical refinements, Barcelona could become competitive again.

He was right. Flick transformed the team. His direct, high-pressing, and intense style of play has brought remarkable success. This transformation would not have been possible without significant improvements in the players’ physical conditioning, an area where the coaching staff and club have focused intensely. Now, the team flies across the pitch like a bird.

So far, Flick’s performance has been outstanding. In 49 games, he has recorded 37 wins, 6 draws, and only 6 losses. In La Liga, he has 22 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses in 31 matches. In the Champions League, he has 9 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in 11 games. In the Copa del Rey, he has 4 wins and 1 draw in 5 matches, and in the Spanish Super Cup, he won both the semi-final and final. His team has also been exceptional in scoring, netting 146 goals while conceding 50.
