Heated pool, gym, billiards, foosball, ping-pong tables, and football fields as far as the eye can see. Hansi Flick is convinced that St. George’s Park has hosted the best preseason since his arrival at Barcelona in 2024. And, while a year ago Flick summarized his philosophy with a phrase that went viral – “Egos kill success” – twelve months later, with eight world champions, the German is convinced that his experience will be an added value. “Champions know how to win titles. It’s very important,” he said. A speech that reinforces the coach’s conviction that this Barcelona has more talent and a more mature mentality to fight for all the titles, especially for a Champions League that has become the main goal of the season. That said, Flick also made it clear that the squad is not yet finalized and that the dilemma remains that of the center forward.
