The ambitious and demanding German manager is not content with just doubles and Super Cups, he is about to usher in a new golden age with Barcelona.
Barcelona put an end to four days of celebration after receiving the trophy certifying them as league champions just after the match against Villarreal. These have been unforgettable moments for a team that has won three national titles this season (League, Copa del Rey and Super Cup) and they were “just two minutes” away from reaching the Champions League final.

More than enough reasons for the euphoria to erupt in Barcelona. According to the Guardia Urbana, about 670,000 people took to the streets to celebrate this season’s successes with their idols. It was a spectacular party.
Hansi Flick immortalized the moment with videos and photographs from a day he will never forget. With the match against Athletic remaining to end the season, Barcelona acknowledge that expectations have been exceeded. Maybe the German coach doesn’t see it that way, as he has constantly sent out messages that we need to invest more.
Ambitious and demanding, Flick knows that he has a young generation of players in his hands, led by Lamine Yamal, who are capable of establishing a dominant position in the league. But this requires talent, as there is, rigor, demand, and a lot of work.
Flick demands more
“Next season we may have to work even harder to win titles. And I want more,” Flick said after the game against Villarreal. “It’s not perfection, it’s evolution,” he added. The coach is aware that his opponents will also prepare to overcome his high defense and offside tactics to hurt them.
A message also aimed at his players to avoid complacency, even if it seems difficult to hear them. “I’m left with a sense of triumph. Next year we are aiming for more titles,” Pau Cubarsí said. “This brand demands the maximum from you, and I hope we can celebrate more with the fans. Next year we will invest more,” captain Ter Stegen summed up.
This Barcelona is a hungry team. Both for all the young players, who are already starting to taste the fruits of their success, and for the more experienced players who want to improve their results further. A mixture that has worked perfectly.
