Barcelona showcased a remarkable series of matches that featured high stakes and extraordinary performances, thrilling fans with a Copa del Rey final and a UEFA Champions League semifinal, culminating in two trophies. However, coach Hansi Flick expressed his desire to halt this unpredictable style of football, citing his discomfort with the chaos it creates. This conflict highlights the tension between entertainment and traditional tactical approaches, as the visuals of young talents and intense matches present a stark contrast to more formulaic football that some legends, like Thierry Henry, find increasingly dull.
On Sunday, he added another clear indication of how unhappy he is with the exact facet of Barcelona's play that has made it irresistible for the neutral to watch their barnstorming, three-trophy season. "Only all of you can decide whether we are the most enjoyable team to watch in Europe," Flick smiled when asked about it. "For me ... it's not always fun. I've sometimes suffered a lot."
