Barcelona eyes Champions League with revamped lineup under Hansi Flick

As they prepare for the 2026/27 season, Barcelona aims for European success following two consecutive La Liga titles. Under Hansi Flick, the team looks to strengthen its squad this summer, particularly through the addition of Rodri. While Barcelona has a strong starting XI, they face depth issues, especially at the striker position, as they pursue Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. The tactical approach under Flick involves a high pressing style that sits at the risk of counter-attacks, a method the team commits to regardless of opponent caliber. The Blaugrana hopes to reclaim their status as a Champions League contender after a lengthy dry spell since 2015.
