Flick, a resounding 8-2 against Barça

The 59-year-old technician then had a notable stint at Bayern Munich, marked by seven titles in a year and a half.
In 2020, Flick led Bayern to a resounding sextuplet, including success in the Champions League and a monumental card inflicted on Barça (8-2) in the quarter-finals. Barça does not forget to recall this event in its press release, which clearly proves to what extent this lesson inflicted by Flick’s Bayern left its mark on people’s minds. The Blaugranas hope for similar success, especially since Flick will find his lethal weapon, Robert Lewandowski.
