FC Barcelona has once again reigned in Spain, doing so with authority, good soccer, and a clear message: this team is back. The victory against Espanyol certified the league championship in a familiar setting for celebration. But among chants, hugs, and confetti, coach Hansi Flick did not forget to mention something very special: the duels against Real Madrid.
A Champion Expected by a Few
At the start of the season, no one bet on Barça. The team arrived with doubts, a squad under construction, and a new coach yet to be tested in Spanish soccer. The shadow of Madrid was large, and the environment was not helpful.
However, the reality has been different, Barça has consolidated as a strong, competitive, and characterful unit. Match after match, it convinced its own and left the criticisms behind.
Flick, with his calm yet determined profile, knew how to hit the right note. His commitment, adaptability, and silent leadership have earned everyone's respect.
Flick and His Message after the Title
After the triumph in Cornellà, Flick addressed the media with the calmness of someone who has exceeded expectations. When reviewing the most important moments of the season, he had no doubts:
“The best match of the year? The four against Madrid have been the best.”
An answer that drew applause among the Barça fans. Because beating the eternal rival once is already a reason for joy, but doing it four times in a single season is another story. And Flick knows it.
It was not a coincidence, nor luck, it was soccer, work, and determination. Beating Madrid in all official matches of the season is something that remains etched in the memory of Barça fans.
Classics that Marked the Path
The four classics not only served to add points or advance in competitions. They were key moments to build the team's confidence. Each victory against Madrid reinforced the idea that this Barça could aspire to everything.
In those matches, the team showed its best version: high pressure, rhythm, possession, and punch. Players like Pedri, Lewandowski, or Raphinha stepped up, and the group's unity was evident. Flick managed to get the team to those matches at their strongest point and most importantly: without fear.
A Barça that Already Thinks of More
With the League in the bag, Barça is not satisfied, Flick has made it clear: this is just the beginning. The coach's ambition fits perfectly with the club's history. There are bigger goals for next season: the Champions League, European titles, continuing to dominate in Spain.
But for that, it will be key to preserve unity, strengthen where necessary, and above all, maintain that winning mentality.
