Barcelona’s men’s team have begun the new campaign in impressive fashion, showcasing fluid attacking football and a defensive solidity that has delighted supporters.
Hansi Flick’s side have already laid down an early marker in La Liga, picking up vital wins and keeping pace with rivals Real Madrid.
Ferran Torres continues to sparkle with match-winning performances, while seasoned figures are providing the perfect blend of experience and firepower.
Behind the scenes, the club’s hierarchy remain focused on long-term success, with contract renewals and youth development key to ensuring another golden era.
The Camp Nou faithful, buoyed by recent victories, are once again beginning to dream of silverware in both domestic and European competitions.
Amid Barcelona’s positive momentum, a familiar face from the club’s glorious past has stolen the spotlight on the global stage.
Spanish tactician Luis Enrique has been crowned with the Johan Cruyff Award for Best Coach at the Ballon d’Or 2025 ceremony in Paris, earning worldwide acclaim for his phenomenal achievements with Paris Saint-Germain.
Luis Enrique masterminded an unprecedented five-trophy haul for PSG, including a historic first Champions League triumph that finally ended decades of frustration on the European stage.
His ability to rebuild the squad following Kylian Mbappé’s departure and mould them into an unstoppable winning machine drew widespread praise from pundits and former players alike.
At the glittering Ballon d’Or gala in Paris, Luis Enrique was officially recognised as the best coach of 2025.
Under his guidance, PSG claimed the French Championship, the French Cup, the French Super Cup and, most importantly, the coveted Champions League crown.
Enrique was unable to attend the ceremony in person, with his PSG side in action in the French Championship.
Other high-profile managers in contention included Hans-Dieter Flick, Arne Slot, Enzo Maresca and Antonio Conte, but the former Barcelona boss emerged as the clear winner.
Having taken charge of PSG in the summer of 2023, Enrique has since delivered remarkable success, cementing his reputation as one of the finest tactical minds in modern football and ensuring his name remains firmly etched among the elite of world coaching.
The Barcelona dominance rolled on as Lamine Yamal claimed the men’s Kopa Trophy, Vicky Lopez secured the women’s Kopa Trophy and Ewa Pajor captured the Gerd Müller Trophy.
