As far as debut seasons go, Hansi Flick is having one of the best possible. The German boss has taken Messi's former club, FC Barcelona, to the top of La Liga and safely through to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League as well as a Copa del Rey Final, where they’ll take on their arch enemy Real Madrid in Seville.
Perhaps more importantly, his style of play, free-flowing attack-minded and full of flair, is one that is greatly entertaining the club’s loyal fanbase and as such the chance of securing a memorable treble is one that has well and truly whetted the appetite of a team that is currently playing their home games away from their usual Nou Camp base.
FC Barcelona fans who want to back Flick to secure a piece of silverware, or even two or three, can back those hopes with a bet. To help make that wager closer to risk-free, why not make use of these astounding sportsbook promo codes, as you cheer on the Catalan side to glory?
When former playing legend Xavi decided to leave FC Barcelona, many fans of the Blaugrana may have feared seeing Real Madrid once again lap up the titles, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side winning both the domestic title and yet another UEFA Champions League crown in 2023/24, thankfully, things have worked out swimmingly.
Flick moved to Barcelona last May, having more than proven himself at Bayern Munich before struggling to make an impact as German national team coach, and he has done a superb job thus far.
He has made great use of Barcelona’s young talents, whilst the likes of Raphina and Robert Lewandowski have put in match-winning performances on a regular basis.
Barcelona did hit a major speed bump midway through the season, contriving to lose four La Liga games in the space of seven around Christmas, but luckily for Flick, neither Real Madrid nor Atletico Madrid could put a series of strong results together, meaning that those losses did not prove fatal.
A run of nine straight wins from January then put FC Barcelona in the driving seat, and a key 4-0 win away at the Santiago Bernabeu put Real Madrid in their place to make it even harder for Ancelotti’s men to get back into the swing of things.
In the UEFA Champions League, it has been Brazilian winger Raphina who has really taken things up a notch. The former Leeds United wideman has thus far managed an astonishing 12 goals in the competition, with Lewandowski registering eleven, and FC Barcelona are very much the team to beat in that competition.
If Flick can continue to push his side in the final stretch, we would not bet against FC Barcelona doing the unthinkable and collecting all three major honours in a season that will live long in the memory.
They host Real Madrid on the 11th of May in La Liga, and if Flick manages to avoid defeat in that clash, you can expect the league title to be heading their way.
