JAKARTA - Hansi Flick was a key witness as well as the main actor at the Barcelona and Bayern Munich meeting. He was able to give both of them a wound.

The 59-year-old coach was able to continue Bayer Munich's dominance over Barcelona four years ago.

In fact, Flick set FC Hollywood to set a record meeting with Barcelona. When he took charge of Munich four years ago, to be precise in the 2019/2020 Champions League, the captain brought the team to a landslide 8-2 win at Camp Nou.

That record is the Blaugrana's worst loss to Munich. Moreover, it happened at home to Barcelona.

Not surprisingly, Barcelona also felt inferior before their meeting again in the Champions League this season on Thursday, October 24, 2024, early morning WIB.

The record of the unfavorable meeting to Azulgrana, by only packing two wins, one draw, and 10 defeats against Munich.

However, the conditions are different. Hansi Flick is now in the Barcelona camp. The key actor who made the Blaugrana slump was motivated to beat his former team.

Sure enough, Hansi Flick was able to give Munich a defeat. The result stopped Barcelona's streak of six consecutive defeats in front of Die Bavaria.

The Champions League's 4-1 win on the third matchday of the season reminded results in the 2008/2009 edition when Barca also scored four goals in a 4-0 win at home.

Now, Hansi Flick is breaking apart, repaying the wounds he made to Barcelona four years ago with a win over Munich.

"We are having game after game. We are clearly very proud of this result," Flick said at a press conference when asked about the favoriteism reported by ESPN.
