According to reports, Hansi Flick’s Barcelona has already won the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey, is the main contender for La Liga, and is in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. If the team wins against Inter Milan at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (the first leg ended in a 3-3 draw), they will secure their place in the Munich final.

If Barcelona achieves the treble, fans will naturally celebrate this as a historic event. It would be the third treble in the club’s history after Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique’s trebles. A stunning success that will also force the board, led by Joan Laporta, to open their wallets.

Players have fixed salaries and bonuses for winning titles that must be paid. Hansi Flick is no exception. When the German coach joined Barcelona, he accepted a relatively low salary of around €3 million net, but this amount is compensated with significant bonuses for winning titles. According to the contract, Flick will receive an additional €1 million if Barcelona wins the UEFA Champions League and €750,000 for winning La Liga.

This formula previously existed for Xavi Hernandez and his staff, although in Xavi’s case, the base salary was higher (around €6 million net) and the bonuses were lower: €300,000 for winning the Champions League and €150,000 for winning La Liga.
