Flick's Barça takes on the third Champions League attempt

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General9 September 2026 at 06:43

Barcelona under Hansi Flick faces its third attempt to win the Champions League, feeling stronger than ever to achieve this goal in the German coach's third season in charge of the team. Despite a European trajectory that some consider regressive, with appearances in semi-finals and quarter-finals, the club and the culés fans maintain high expectations for this campaign.

The optimism is mainly based on the overwhelming results achieved in the Spanish League, where the team has four wins in four matchdays, with 17 goals scored and only 2 conceded. This impressive performance demonstrates the offensive potential and defensive solidity that Flick has managed to implement in the blaugrana collective.

Furthermore, the reinforcements signed during the transfer window are pointed out as decisive factors for the club's European ambitions. These players didn't just come to strengthen the squad, but to elevate the team to a level capable of competing for the most coveted title in European football.

The temporal context also adds special motivation to this journey, as the date of June 5, 2027 will mark almost 12 years since Barcelona's last Champions League win in Berlin in 2015, creating a sense of urgency and opportunity to end this wait.
