Henry doesn’t believe Flick has started a new era at Barcelona
Yesterday, Barcelona achieved a resounding victory over Crvena Zvezda in the 4th round of the UEFA Champions League, setting another scoring record. However, legendary Thierry Henry expressed a rather unpopular opinion about the Catalan team.
Details: According to Henry, Barcelona’s head coach Hansi Flick has not ushered in a new era for the team. The French coach emphasized the foundational work of previous manager Xavi.
"I don’t believe Hansi Flick has started a new era… that was Xavi. Flick is continuing what Xavi began.
Xavi put Cubarsi in the starting lineup, Xavi brought Lamine Yamal to the forefront. Xavi gave opportunities to many players who are now making an impact. He left, and Flick came in. I think the team plays this way because they've been together for two years and endured a tough season.
I believe this team can be considered one of the favorites to win the Champions League. I think they’re ready to go all the way."
Reminder: During the match against Crvena Zvezda, Barcelona center-back Pau Cubarsi suffered a stud to the face, requiring medical staff to apply 10 stitches.
