Flick continues to demand development: Barça in front of major exams!

After the impressive 5-0 win of FC Barcelona against the Young Boys Bern in the Champions League, coach Hansi Flick expressed himself optimistic, but still sees space for improvements. "We have to learn and develop further," he said, adding that it was important to call up the best level, especially with demanding opponents in the near future. The anticipation is noticeable, both for the players and the fans.

The next challenge for Barcelona will be FC Bayern Munich on October 23, the Flick trained between 2019 and 2021. In the league, the team will also play against the archrival Real Madrid this month. The list in the goal remains uncertain, since the obligation of Wojciech Szczesny, who is intended as a representative for the injured German national goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen, has not yet been officially confirmed. In the game against Bern, Iñaki Peña again demonstrated his skills in goal.

first defeat of the season and upcoming challenges

The clear victory against the Young Boys comes for the Catalans after a disappointing phase in which they had to accept their first defeat of the season in the Spanish Primera División. Also in the first game of the new Champions League season, the Blaugrana surprisingly lost 1: 2 against AS Monaco. These setbacks put the team under pressure, which is why the victory against Bern was all the more important.

With the success against Bern, the Catalans were also able to improve their goal difference, which is important according to the Flick. "Nobody knows exactly how this new Champions League will work and what we will need, but it is always good to have a good goal difference, only in the event of a case," he said. Robert Lewandowski, the former striker of Bavaria, shone in the game and scored two goals and thus made a significant contribution to victory.

The upcoming games will be decisive for both the trainer and the team to prepare for the further challenges in the Champions League and the national league. The upcoming encounter against Bayern could not only have a special meaning for Flick, but also for the entire team who wants to demonstrate their ambitions.
