Hansi Flick has already collected one trophy this season after Barcelona destroyed Real Madrid 5-2 Spanish Super Cup final back in January.

The Blaugrana are also in the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey where they will face Atletico Madrid with the winner facing off against Real Madrid or Real Sociedad.

Flick’s side are also excelling in La Liga, with their most recent win over Rayo Vallecano taking them top of the league on goal difference.

Lamine Yamal on Champions League chances

In the Champions League Barca are already through to Round of 16 stage after finishing second in the ‘League Phase’ stage.

In a recent interview with Mundo Deportivo, Barca’s star winger Lamine Yamal was asked about their chances of winning a full house of titles this season, including the coveted UEFA Champions League.

“It depends on us. There is only one team in the Champions League that is more favoured than us, and that is Liverpool because they finished first. 

“And in the League, we are first at the moment. So, it all depends on us. It’s a win, win and when you are winning you go through to the next round and it becomes easier and easier.”

Liverpool and Barcelona are probably the two best teams in the world and with how the Champions League ‘League Phase’ ended, both sides can only meet in the final. 

It would be a very tough game as Slot’s side are also top of the Premier League but it would be the most entertaining Champions League Final in recent memories if it was to happen.
