The current season has marked a significant period of change and development for FC Barcelona. The arrival of Hansi Flick as the new manager signaled the beginning of a series of major changes within the club. From altering their tactics to modifying their habits, Barcelona underwent several tweaks.
However, these changes have proven to be beneficial. Already this season, Barcelona has demonstrated an ability to reach heights that they haven't achieved in quite some time. Their goalscoring prowess, in particular, has been a significant strength during this ongoing campaign.
Impact on domestic and european stages
Barcelona's impressive performance both domestically and on the European stage is hardly surprising given their history and pedigree. It's no wonder that foreign pundits and specialists are taking notice. However, it is the recent comments from former Barcelona striker Thierry Henry that are particularly noteworthy.
Henry, who was a superstar for both Arsenal and FC Barcelona himself, recently shared his thoughts about his former club following their 4-1 victory over Sevilla.
Thierry Henry’s belief in Barça’s potential
After the game against Sevilla, Henry expressed his admiration for Hansi Flick’s team suggesting they play like champions already.
Thierry Henry, Former Barcelona player, said:
“Barça plays with the spirit of a champion… They know when to attack, when to defend, and when to take control of the game. This is the Barcelona that everyone fears.”
Furthermore, he went beyond mere praise; he confidently predicted that this Catalan side will become La Liga champions despite currently being third.
Thierry Henry added:
“With this mentality, there’s no doubt Barça will be La Liga champions.”
Following their victory over Sevilla coupled with a favorable 1-1 draw in the Madrid derby; Barça now stands just two points away from securing top spot in La Liga. While there is still much left to play out this season - it's clear that Henry’s words carry weight due to his experience as a player at top level football clubs including Arsenal & FC Barcelona itself . His belief in Barcelona clearly demonstrates faith not only in their quality but also their ability to perform in crucial moments.
