Barcelona's hopes and expectations for 2026
"With 2025 coming to an end, Barcelona as a club will reflect and have a lot to be grateful for. This was a year when they were crowned champions of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Supercopa. In the Champions League, they came agonizingly close to an appearance in the final. All of this in Hansi Flick's first year as manager."
"What I love about Hansi Flick is the calm and stability that he has brought to Barcelona. For as good as the results have been on the field, his true value has been his managerial skills that transcend what his players do tactically from game to game. Barcelona are judged primarily in relation to Real Madrid. Coaching these teams has less to do with your football genius, and more to do with your ability to manage"
Barcelona completed a trophy-rich 2025, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercopa while narrowly missing a Champions League final, all under Hansi Flick in his first year. Midway through his second season, Barcelona lead domestically by four points and can contest the 2026 Supercopa in Saudi Arabia while pushing to reach the Champions League top eight. Joan Laporta is satisfied with Flick. Flick has introduced calm and stability, prioritized managerial skills over tactical flair, earned player belief amid criticism, and could secure more Spanish titles if key players stay healthy, though European progress may be limited.
