Flick leads Barça to title hours after father’s death

Hansi Flick experienced one of the most emotional days of his career as he led Barcelona to a 2–0 Clasico victory over Real Madrid, securing a second consecutive La Liga title only hours after learning of his father’s death. The German coach revealed that his mother informed him of the news on Sunday morning, prompting him to share the moment with his players, whom he described as “family.” Flick praised the squad for their support and commitment, saying he would “never” forget the love he felt inside the stadium.

Tossed into the air by his players at full‑time, he highlighted their ambition to chase the 100‑point league record in the remaining matches and insisted the club’s major target next season is ending an eleven‑year Champions League drought. Spanish reports indicate Flick is set to extend his contract, and he affirmed he feels “in the right place” as Barcelona look ahead with renewed purpose.
