Hansi Flick has done an impressive job this season in the Champions League so far with Barca. The German manager led his side to secure 2nd spot on the table and a victory in Lisbon with 10 men against Benfica.
A history of crumbling on the European stage
After the treble of 2015, FC Barcelona has not been able to reach the Champions League final. In important knockout matches, the team would often crumble despite having the lead, sometimes. Against the likes of Roma and Liverpool, Barca was not able to handle the pressure. In recent times, the club reached a low point after dropping to the Europa League twice after the departure of Leo Messi from the club.
Hansi Flick’s winning mentality
Hansi Flick has the potential to turn things around for Barca on the European stage as the German manager has won a treble with Bayern Munich. His values of discipline and hard work have helped the team stay calm and focused in difficult situations. Flick instructs his players to play with confidence and hunger throughout the 90 minutes. These attributes are really important in the Champions League where you have to get a result no matter what.
