Barcelona exited the Champions League this week in glorious failure, but despite that,

it still promises to be an incredible season engineered by Hansi Flick.

What has he done to turn this club around?

In terms of the squad that they have, Hansi Flick has done a really good job in terms of, like, marrying the camp,

and obviously, like, building something really well and, you know, breeding a really exciting football team.

But his resume did take a hit with Germany. Going out of the World Cup like that and then what

we saw last year from Germany during those friendlies, it was despicable. And it didn't feel

like Hansi Flick had any connection with the players.

When Barcelona appointed German coach Hansi Flick in the summer of 2024, it was a bit of a surprise.

But nearly a year on, Barcelona are still on for a treble season.

How did Hansi Flick do it?

And is this Barcelona different now?

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of The Truth. I am your host, Sam Tai, sat at home.

Joining me is Dugie Critchley sat in the studio. What's gone wrong here?

Yeah, I've got to take it on the chin this one. You clearly outlined that you couldn't record in the studio today.

And I just left Sky. I admittedly did get up very early

to do some Champions League work this morning and didn't sleep very much last night because it went to

extra time and because it was such an epic game between Barcelona and Inter that I then couldn't

sleep for ages. So either way, I haven't had much sleep and I left Sky on autopilot and headed

to our usual studio. So I'm here solo, missing you guys.
