The winds of change are blowing fiercely through the halls of FC Barcelona, and Hansi Flick is making it abundantly clear — there will be no room for mediocrity under his leadership.
In a stunning and brutally honest statement that has already sent shockwaves through the fanbase and the dressing room alike, Flick reportedly told the club’s management:
“He’s used to failure — I don’t want that mindset infecting my squad.”
Without mincing words, the German tactician has taken the bold and ruthless decision to officially exclude a first-team player from the club’s pre-season tour — a move that not only sidelines the player for the crucial early weeks of preparation but also effectively rules him out of Barcelona’s plans for the 2025/26 season.
No second chances. No soft exits. Just cold, hard judgment.While the identity of the player remains under tight wraps, insiders claim this is just the beginning of a broader cultural reset at Barça, where complacency, underperformance, and reputational baggage will no longer be tolerated — no matter how big the name on the back of the jersey.
Flick’s message is now crystal clear:
“If you’re not here to fight, grow, and win — step aside.”
With a new wave of La Masia talents rising, elite signings on the radar, and a demanding fanbase hungry for silverware, the club’s new era is taking shape — and there’s no space for passengers on this ride.
Barcelona 2.0 is under construction — and it’s not for the faint-hearted.
Who’s next on the chopping block? Only time will tell
