Barcelona, and their incredible 3-2 Copa del Rey final victory over Real Madrid, takes Hansi Flick side one step closer to an unprecedented treble.
Jules Kounde’s extra-time winner to cap off a wild back-and-forth encounter drew outrageous scenes from the Blaugrana supporters, and pure chaos from the Madrid coaching staff, as three players were sent off during the madness.
This Copa del Rey win adds to the Spanish Super Cup that Flick secured earlier this year, his first major piece of silverware at the club, while still keeping the dream of a historic triple alive.
The tension was thick, the stakes were enormous.
In a game full of drama, controversy, and late-game heroics, one team is taking a massive step towards immortality.
When that final whistle blew, the emotions spilled over, and one team celebrated with joy while the other was consumed with hate and fury.
Not only did this match secure silverware, but it was also a loud statement about this team’s will to be great.
Barcelona is four points clear at the top of La Liga and is about to face Inter Milan in the semifinals of the Champions League.
Everything is firmly controlled as Hansi Flick was able to blend the tactical discipline of Bayern Munich with the flair that Barcelona is known for.
“Oh, today was great,” he said following the match. “This victory gives us the belief that we can win more,” as quoted by Marca.
Of course, there will be more obstacles to navigate, including a potential title-deciding match with Real Madrid on May 11 and a potential Champions League final with PSG or Arsenal.
But following that emphatic statement of intent, Barcelona will not be lacking in belief.
Hansi Flick believes that the dream of a treble is no longer a dream, but something to be achieved.
