BARCA WIN LA LIGA: Start of the "Dream team 3.0" empire

Barca has many talented young players and is expected to continue to write successes in many seasons to come.

With a 2-0 victory over Espanyol, Barca officially won the championship, although there were still 2 rounds left. The stands chanted coach Flick's name, and the German coach's students lifted him off the ground, as a tribute to his difficult journey to conquer Catalan fans.

Coach Flick's mark

Before coach Flick came to Barca, this team was like a ship without direction. They became mediocre against Real and no longer had the brilliant aura like under coach Pep. That is the law of football, but it seems that the situation has dragged on too long, making Barca fans lose patience.

When Barca moved to Montjuic (Camp Nou is under renovation), the number of spectators dropped from 90,000 to 45,000. In addition, according to the club's statistics from 2023, there are about 60,000 members on temporary leave. Along with the problems on the field and the financial crisis, Barcelona is no longer a strong brand in the football world. Many coaches have come to try their hand at Barca, but they failed in their mission to maintain the traditional role, along with creating new inspiration for the new cycle at the Catalan team, but all failed. When the board chose coach Hansi Flick, no one believed that the German coach was capable of reviving Barca, even though his talent was recognized. However, coach Flick has proven that his football philosophy can help Barca a lot.

Before the season, with only two new recruits, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, the German coach had no choice but to exploit the veterans thoroughly, in addition to "calling for help" from the Barca B team. From there, he revived 36-year-old striker Robert Lewandowski - who scored a total of 40 goals this season, in addition to finding future stars for Barca, typically central midfielder Marc Casado.

Thus, Barca has won the La Liga championship for the 28th time (only behind Real Madrid, who has 36 championships). According to sources from the Spanish press, with this year's championship, Barca will receive about 60-90 million euros from television copyright, performance bonuses and participation in European tournaments. This number will be added with 9 million euros when Barca wins the Spanish Super Cup and 1.2 million euros when lifting the King's Cup. In addition, about 83 million euros that Barca earned thanks to going deep in the Champions League.

Under Hansi Flick, Bara have become more direct, more aggressive and more all-in. From the beginning to the end of their La Liga title run this season, the Catalan team’s attack has always been ready to explode like an explosive mass.

Barca is willing to push the entire team up to the center circle to press the opponent, while creating an “offside trap” model like no other. That is the reason why they are the team with the most fearsome attack in the tournament with 97 goals, while the defense is also quite fragile with 36 goals conceded.

One of Flick’s successes is that he has created an atmosphere of unity in the Barca dressing room, with all members of the team looking in the same direction. That is why Barca often create spectacular comebacks, such as the 4-3 victory in El Clasico in round 35, despite being 2 goals ahead against Real Madrid thanks to a “double” from striker Kylian Mbappe.

From a person who was very skeptical when he first arrived at Barca, coach Hansi Flick is loved by Barca fans. In addition to beautiful and effective attacking play, he has fully exploited the "resources" from the youth training center La Masia. This is the traditional way of doing football of Barca, instead of investing huge amounts of money to bring in stars and conquer titles like before.

Expectations for Lamine Yamal and many young players

At Barca, there are two people who are considered symbols of Barca today: Coach Hansi Flick and Lamine Yamal. However, looking at the whole picture, Coach Hansi Flick's team deserves to be expected to continue writing new successes in the future.

Lamine Yamal is currently considered a symbol of Barca's youth. He is the inspiration for De Jong to rise and want to renew with Barca. The same goes for Pedri and Raphinha. With the La Liga championship this season, the young players have accumulated more experience in the top arena. At such a young age, but having been challenged in football environments that not everyone can experience, Barca currently owns a "heavy arsenal" such as Eric (24 years old), Gerard, Pau (23), Fermin, Pedri (22), Balde, Casadó (21), Gavi (20), Cubarsí, Fort (18), Bernal and Lamine Yamal (17).

In terms of playing style, Barca's attack continued to show its top form, irresistible against Espanyol. This is a testament to the ability to control the tempo of the match, creating the dizzying speed that coach Flick and his team pursue. The mobility of the players brings depth to Barca. The youth of the players creates creativity for the team. Maintaining this dynamism at Barca will be the next challenge for coach Flick.

The season will be even greater and more beautiful for Barca if coach Flick and his team overcome Inter in the Champions League semi-finals, aiming to complete the "treble". But that's okay, with just a "double" of La Liga and King's Cup in the domestic tournament, Barca has created inspiration and attraction for itself. Remember that with the talented young players that the German coach owns, Barca can write a new chapter in the club's history. Coach Flick will enter the house of legends like Johan Cruyff, Pep Guardiola, if he successfully builds "Dream team 3.0" for the Catalan team.
