Barcelona is playing like clockwork this season—after several turbulent years, they’re back to their old dominant selves, steamrolling opponents with dynamic, attractive football full of goals. And they’re doing it with a squad packed with young talent. The biggest credit for this turnaround goes to Hansi Flick, the German coach who has transformed Barcelona both on the pitch and in the locker room. He’s created a unified team where every player is just as eager to assist as to score.Borussia lucky to concede only four goals, Barca on a rollThis has completely satisfied the club’s demanding board, which has now embarked on a new mission: to convince Hansi Flick to sign a new contract. Under his current deal, Flick is tied to the Catalan giants until June of 2026. However, President Laporta and sporting director Deco want to keep him even longer—at least one more year. According to Catalan outlet Sport, the first round of negotiations took place on Tuesday, involving Laporta, Deco, and two other Barcelona officials on one side, and Pini Zahavi, the German coach’s agent, on the other.Coach, can my friend play a little bit?The proposal is for Flick to sign a new contract running until June of 2027, with an option to extend for an additional year. For now, these are just feelers, as the Barcelona coach has made it clear he won’t engage in any contract talks while the team is still in the running for three trophies this season. Barca has one foot in the Champions League semifinals after demolishing Dortmund 4–0 in the first leg, they lead La Liga with a four-point advantage over Real Madrid and seven over Atletico, and they’ve reached the Copa del Rey final. On top of all that, the Catalan machine has scored a staggering 145 goals across 48 matches in all competitions—exactly the kind of football fans dream of.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 31Friday22:00: (2.35) Valencia (3.15) Sevilla (3.25)Saturday15:00: (1.85) Sociedad (3.40) Mallorca (4.60)17:15: (1.80) Getafe (3.40) Las Palmas (4.90)19:30: (1.67) Celta (3.60) Espanyol (5.70)22:00: (8.00) Leganes (5.30) Barcelona (1.35)Sunday15:00: (2.50) Osasuna (3.25) Girona (2.90)17:15: (5.60) Alaves (3.70) Real Madrid (1.65)19:30: (2.35) Betis (3.45) Villareal (2.95)22:00: (1.67) Ath.Bilbao (3.50) Rayo Vallecano (5.80)Monday22:00: (1.15) Atl.Madrid (7.75) Valladolid (19.0)***odds are subject to change***
