There is an undoubtable truth behind the fact that Hansi Flick has revitalized this Barcelona team. Through grit, tactics, and brilliant individual displays, this team has surprised most who doubted them. Ultimately, it is thanks to the introduction of Hansi Flick that Barcelona now looks unbeatable.
While the first three wins may have come through sheer determination to be better than their opponents, the game against Real Valladolid was the true eye-opener. With Hansi Flick’s style of football in full effect, the 7-0 scoreline was a joy to behold for all Barcelona fans.
Then, most recently against Girona, Hansi Flick’s Barcelona team showed that same tenacity and hunger once more. Putting four goals past Michel’s team, Barcelona completely outclassed their Catalan opponents in their latest fixture. As a consequence of that win, however, another joy now befalls the German tactician.
As highlighted by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona has now equalled their best goalscoring tally after the first five La Liga games since 2017/2018. Back then, Ernesto Valverde was still the coach of Barcelona and the great Lionel Messi was still there to boost those goalscoring numbers.
Now, however, the reliance is on a complete team rather than a singular difference-maker. Fortunately for Barcelona, this team is one that is not built around one particular superstar but an entire plethora of talented players who are willing to devote every ounce of their energy into making life difficult for their opponents.
Furthermore, this is only the fifth time since the beginning of the 21st century that Barcelona have won all five of their opening five fixtures in a La Liga campaign. On all previous occasions barring one, Barcelona also ended up winning the La Liga title at the end of the season.
While the campaign is still far from over, the Catalan giants could not have wished for a better start to life in the official campaign. Despite their injury woes and initial registration problems, Barcelona and Hansi Flick continue to head straight on with all the momentum that they could want.
