At the conclusion of the 2023-24 Season, FC Barcelona parted ways with Xavi and appointed Hansi Flick as their New Manager. It was a controversial decision as Xavi was doing a great job. Afterall he was an instrumental figure in their 2022-23 La Liga Triumph. However he was quite vocal against the Barcelona Management. Hence, his sacking was imminent and the same did bring enormous criticism to the Board.
Post Xavi's departure, German Hansi Flick took over as the Manager of the struggling Barcelona Side. The pressure was huge. It was indeed a crown of thorns. However, what happened next was truly unbelievable. He actually turned the club upside down. F.C. Barcelona since Flick's appointment have been playing a brand of football which has brought a shiver to the spine of entire Europe. Afterall they are constantly demolishing their opponents match after match.
Be it Munich or Madrid, each one of them have been reduced to dust. Currently F.C. Barcelona is leading in both La Liga and Champions League. Yes. They have suffered a few defeats in between, but their style of football has taken everyone by storm.
It is interesting to note that F.C. Barcelona last won a UCL Title in 2015. Will they end their UCL drought this year? The answer lies in the womb of time. But, for the time being everything's good in Camp Nou.
