Barcelona has once again claimed the La Liga title, securing the championship after a crucial Clasico victory over rivals Real Madrid. The latest triumph marks a significant achievement for current coach Hansi Flick, who has now guided the Catalan giants to silverware in his tenure.
The celebrations extended beyond the Camp Nou, reaching as far as Paris, where former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, now at the helm of PSG, expressed his admiration for Flick’s work. Even as PSG was in action against Brest at the Parc des Princes on Sunday night, Enrique made sure to inquire about Barcelona’s result, underscoring his enduring connection to his former club.
A culer at heart
Luis Enrique, who previously led Barcelona to numerous honours, remains a “culer”, a devoted Barcelona fan, at heart. His appreciation for Flick’s tactical approach and the team’s style of play has been evident throughout the season. Speaking to reporters earlier in the season, Enrique offered high praise for his successor.
“I’ve loved Hansi Flick since the beginning for what he’s done with this team. He attacks, he knows how to defend very well, he adapts to all game situations,” Luis Enrique stated according to Barcablaugranes, highlighting Flick’s versatility.

He further elaborated on his personal enjoyment of watching the team, adding, “I love watching this team play, I watch all Barça matches and I love it. I’m a Barça fan and their matches entertain me a lot.”
Flick joins an exclusive list
Flick’s success places him in an elite category of Barcelona coaches. He now joins an exclusive list alongside Luis Enrique himself, Pep Guardiola, and Ernesto Valverde as the only four coaches to have won La Liga titles in their first two seasons with the club.
This achievement solidifies Flick’s impact since taking charge, demonstrating his ability to quickly implement a winning philosophy and deliver immediate results, something barcelona have lacked for some years.
As of May 11, 2026, Barcelona’s latest La Liga title not only adds another trophy to their illustrious history but also serves as a testament to the club’s continued pursuit of excellence, a journey keenly observed and celebrated by former figures like Luis Enrique.
