FC Barcelona has completely revived under coach Hansi Flick, and this is more than just a mere tactical development. The German’s arrival anticipated dominance, but goal-scoring of this calibre was still not expected.
The Catalans have ruthlessly scored in all competitions and broken goal-scoring records. This Barcelona team might be a force to be reckoned with; let’s discuss.
Barca’s Ruthless Evolution in Attacking Football Under Hansi Flick
Barca has always been an attacking-minded team. Coaches like Cruyff, Guardiola, Tito Vilanova, and Enrique infused offensive prowess into the team’s DNA, and the Blaugrana always adjusted well. The team has always controlled possession and thrived on attacking brutality.
However, this scoring ability took a heavy toll after Suarez and Messi’s departure.
Barca has only managed one La Liga after Messi, and that has been thanks to defensive brilliance. Culers might have been happy with it, but the Blaugrana have never been known as a defensive team.
Thankfully, Hansi Flick improved Barca’s goal-scoring and evolved the team into something even more devastating. Under Flick, the Barcelona players have shown aggression and a desire to outscore opponents with significant differences.
Amazing Offensive Numbers
The numbers never lie. Barcelona has registered 109 goals in just 35 games, which is truly historic. It’s also not just about individual brilliance; the team has looked well-drilled and structured. Lewandowski, Raphinha, Yamal and even Ferran Torres have scored heavily under Flick’s system.
Flick’s tactical system demands constant movement, high pressing, and forward passing. It revived the traditional way of attacking Barcelona and made it even more ruthless.
Barcelona have won With Style
Some critics might argue that Barca’s high-scoring wins are unnecessary. The players should ease off after scoring two or three. However, I find this narrative quite obtuse. That’s not how great teams operate, and Flick’s Barca has shown they do not intend to win games only but win with style.
Valencia, Valladolid, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich’s crushing defeats prove this. Real Madrid’s 5-2 Super Cup thrashing and 4-0 dismantling at the Bernabeu indicates that Flick’s team is always hungry for goals and is ready to reclaim the top spot in Europe.
Barcelona is the Most Entertaining Team in the World
Social media and analysts are busy arguing about whether Liverpool or Barca is the better team. Whichever team is better, one thing is for sure: Barcelona is the most fun team to watch in the world right now, and the club has attracted a lot of neutral audiences in the past few months.
This is a very positive thing, as it is bound to attract more viewership and attraction to Barcelona. The club deserves this after a prolonged episode of financial issues and European hardships.
Flick has totally revived Barcelona, and the Catalans’ high-scoring performances are a statement for other clubs. Let’s see how he maintains this discipline and intensity in the final phase of the season.
