Barcelona legend Gerard Pique backs team for success under Flick - 'They are contenders for everything' | Barca Universal
"I think there has been much more noise than what is actually happening on the pitch. They are in line with what we saw last year,"
"A very offensive team, taking a lot of risks, but at the same time putting on a great show, which is ultimately what people want, scoring a lot of goals and also conceding, as is evident with Flick's approach."
"In Europe too? Yes, why not? It's clear that there are some very strong teams in Europe right now, and it looks like sooner rather than later, they'll end up winning the Champions League. "Arsenal, for example, or PSG, who won it last year. Add to that Real Madrid and Bayern, who I think have raised their game with Kompany, so obviously it will be difficult."
Barcelona under Hansi Flick deploy a very offensive, high-risk defensive line that prioritizes entertaining, goal-heavy football while accepting defensive vulnerability. The approach mirrors the previous season's style, emphasizing scoring and spectacle even at the cost of conceding. The team currently leads La Liga despite early inconsistencies and a Clasico defeat, and recovered to sit four points clear of Real Madrid. In the Champions League, Barcelona occupy 18th place in the group, which would force a play-off round, but remain capable of reaching the top eight. Strong European contenders include Arsenal, PSG, Real Madrid, and Bayern, making continental success challenging but attainable.
