Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has opened up about how his time at the Spanish giants has profoundly impacted him — both professionally and personally. Speaking ahead of Barcelona’s Champions League showdown with Olympiacos, Flick revealed that the club has stirred a more emotional side of him that he never experienced before.
Reflecting on his calmer demeanor during his previous stint at Bayern Munich, where even historic wins didn’t draw visible excitement, Flick contrasted that with his current emotional investment at Barcelona. “Now I have more emotions; this club has completely changed me,” he admitted.
Flick’s passion for the club was clear as he shared his deep connection with the city and its people. “I love this club, I love Barcelona, I love the people here. I give my all for this club,” he stated.
However, the coach also expressed concern over his recent sideline behavior, including a red card received during a tense 2–1 La Liga victory over Girona. “To be honest, I don’t like these things when I see myself on TV… I don’t like my grandchildren seeing their grandfather like that, so maybe I have to change my behaviour.”
Flick’s comments come as Barcelona prepares for a critical European night, dealing with a growing injury list and increased pressure to perform. His emotional candor highlights the personal stakes involved, not just for the team, but for a coach deeply immersed in the heart of Catalan football.
