Unbeaten in 2025 – Flick’s Barça on a Mission


Under new manager Hansi Flick, Barcelona is unbeaten in all competitions since the start of 2025. They currently sit three points clear atop LaLiga and are gearing up for a UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash with Borussia Dortmund.

“The boys deserve credit for how far we’ve come, but this is not the time to dream too far ahead,” Flick told reporters after the match. “Dreaming is allowed, but we have to stay focused on what we want.

Despite Flick’s cautious tone, fans are buzzing with hope as Barça chase their first treble since the Luis Enrique era in 2015.
