Barcelona fans have every reason to feel optimistic as the club continues their pursuit of a remarkable season.
Having already secured the Supercopa de Espana by defeating Real Madrid in January, the Catalan side remains alive in all competitions—La Liga, UEFA Champions League, and Copa del Rey.
Leading La Liga by three points and boasting a flawless record against Real Madrid this season with two wins in two encounters, Barcelona look poised to continue their success.
As they prepare for the upcoming Copa del Rey final against Los Blancos, all signs point towards Barça being favourites to lift the trophy.
While Barcelona’s collective strength has been on full display under Hansi Flick, there is another compelling reason for fans to be confident—Flick’s exceptional track record in cup finals.
Flick’s impressive record in finals
The Copa del Rey final later this month will mark Flick’s seventh final as a manager. His pedigree in knockout competitions is something Barcelona fans can genuinely get excited about.

Flick’s first five finals came during his historic sextet-winning season with Bayern Munich in 2020.
That year, the German tactician led the Bavarian giants to triumphs across multiple fronts, proving his ability to manage high-pressure scenarios.
It all began in July 2020 when Bayern Munich defeated Bayer Leverkusen to secure the DFCB Pokal.
However, the highlight of that historic run was undoubtedly the UEFA Champions League final victory against Paris Saint-Germain. Flick’s Bayern triumphed 1-0 courtesy of a goal from Kingsley Coman.
The success did not stop there. Bayern then played Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup final, where they emerged victorious 2-1.
Just six days later, Bayern faced Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup final, securing another win to complete a stunning series of domestic and international trophies.
Flick capped off the remarkable run in early 2021 by guiding Bayern to the FIFA Club World Cup title.
Fast forward to his time at Barcelona, Flick continued his winning ways by guiding the Blaugrana to a Supercopa de Espana triumph over Real Madrid in January.
