With an eye on glory, Hansi Flick has selected a formidable Barcelona lineup for 2025-26, balancing creativity, grit, and lethal finishing.
This carefully curated lineup, designed to dominate both La Liga and the Champions League, showcases electrifying attackers, a robust midfield, and a rock-solid defense, all tailored to Flick’s high-pressing, dynamic style of play.
Joan Garcia is expected to start in goal, bringing leadership and stability, who just joined from rivals Espanyol.
The back four will comprise players, each providing a different dimension.
Alejandro Balde can contribute pace and a standard of crossing that is unmatched at left-back.
Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsí are likely to be centre-backs because they can both physically dominate their opponents while maintaining composure.
Jules Koundé is a more rounded right-back and versatile enough to be one who can adapt and add to the backline as necessary.
The team is also likely to have an intimidating midfield.
With Pedri back to full fitness, he is likely to build up play with his vision and precision.
Moreover, Gavi’s tenacity and relentlessness will be difficult for opponents as a team part of a midfield triplet.
Frenkie De Jong’s return to form gives elegance and an effortless ability on the ball.
This combination of creativity with toughness could be bested in either La Liga or the Champions League.
The attack is electrifying. On the right wing, we have the teenage superstar Lamine Yamal, who continues to impress with his dribbling and creativity.
Up front, Robert Lewandowski is still dangerous at his age, which is necessary since he is the central striker, goal-scorer, and target.
On the left, Raphinha and a new addition like Nico Williams could potentially add even more attacking firepower.
This group is built to play a high-pressing game with the Hansi Flick system, and the team will play with intensity.
Focused Barcelona, combined with youth and experience, is a daunting prospect for the 2025-26 season.
If injuries do not hamper the squad and they can find chemistry, this group can be the start of a Golden era for the Barça and perhaps compete for every trophy in their sights.
