Barcelona have been imperious on a 10-game unbeaten run across all competitions and are the only team in Europe’s top-five leagues yet to lose in 2025 as they bid for three titles playing some of the best football the fans have seen this season.

But manager Hansi Flick acknowledged that they will only be as good as the titles they win and said his side are ready to go full steam ahead in Wednesday’s trip to Atletico Madrid in their Copa del Rey (King’s Cup) semi-final return leg with the tie level at 4-4 after a thrilling first game back in February.

Barca also lead LaLiga by three points above Real Madrid and have reached the Champions League quarter-finals where they are set to host Borussia Dortmund in the first leg next week.

“I feel the hunger that they have to win titles,” Flick told a press conference on Tuesday. “Tomorrow’s game is like a final and it’s a great opportunity for us.
