Hansi Flick received the approval of Lionel Messi himself this week.

The Barcelona legend spoke about the current team's performance under the German: „I am not surprised by Barcelona's results under Hansi Flick, as this is something that 'Barca' has been accustomed to since the time I was at the club. The young players are performing excellently because they know the club better than anyone else, and they have also been playing since they were kids.“

The coach, who is in his first year at the helm of Barcelona, was grateful for these words.

„When the greatest football player of all time, Lionel Messi, says such wonderful things about 'Barca', it is an honor.

We really like that he is following our team's performance. It means a lot to us that he holds the young players of this team in such high regard,“ - said H. Flick.
