Bayern Munich need no reminder of Hansi Flick’s abilities ahead of their crucial clash with Barcelona next week. The two European giants will meet in Catalonia on October 23 in a high-stakes UEFA Champions League showdown.
For Flick, it will mark the first time he faces his old club since taking charge of Barcelona this summer. The 59-year-old has made a positive start to life in La Liga, following a successful stint in Bavaria, where he led Bayern Munich to successive Bundesliga titles in 2020 and 2021, along with a memorable Champions League triumph in 2020.
Flick remains highly regarded in German football, and current Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany was full of praise for his predecessor ahead of their reunion at the Estadio Olímpic Lluis Companys.
“There are coaches who have done a lot for Bayern, and Hansi Flick is one of them. Of course, it will be a special match for him and for us. But in the end, we both want to win,” Kompany stated.
Bayern Munich enter the game in strong form, having returned to Bundesliga action with a commanding 4-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart. England captain Harry Kane played a starring role, netting a hat trick for Kompany’s side.
