Barça Was Crowned Champion of the Copa del Rey Last Weekend After Defeating Real Madrid. Flick's team secured the title with a decisive goal by Jules Koundé in the 116th minute, sealing a definitive 3-2 to lift the desired trophy. Additionally, with this victory, Barça keeps all options alive to achieve a historic treble, as they remain in contention in the Champions League and are leaders in La Liga.
The blaugrana team once again delivered a high-level performance, showing character, intensity, and solidity against a Real Madrid that also put up a fight. This is the second final Barça has won this season, after the Spanish Super Cup, and it shows the excellent work Hansi Flick is doing since his arrival on the bench. The Catalan team continues to grow and, with this new title, reinforces their ambition to fight for everything until the end of the season.
The Bench and Flick's Changes, One of the Keys to the Victory
One of the great architects of the victory was, without a doubt, Hansi Flick. His decisions from the bench were crucial to changing the dynamics of the match. The team reached the second half very tired, with clear signs of wear, and that's where the German coach moved the bench surgically.
The Entries of Eric García, Gavi, Fermín López, and Ronald Araujo Gave Barça a New Air. These changes revitalized the team at a critical moment in the match. With fresh legs and an aggressive attitude, Barça managed to equalize the score and then take the initiative in extra time.
Tottenham Bids Strongly for Flick's Utility Player
In this regard, one of the most outstanding players in recent weeks is Eric García, who has been able to respond in different roles for Flick. His versatility has sparked the interest of several European clubs, and according to 'Fichajes.net', Tottenham has shown a firm interest in acquiring his services this summer.
The Defender Has Gained Prominence This Season thanks to his commitment and his ability to adapt to different positions. His technical profile and vision of the game have caught the attention of Tottenham's scouts, who will present an offer. However, his possible departure won't be easy, as his value within the team is increasingly significant.
They Offer 15 Million, but the Club and Flick Have Doubts
Tottenham would have offered 15M for Eric García, an amount that could partially alleviate the club's economic situation. However, there are many doubts at Barça about accepting the proposal. Flick considers Eric a key piece within the squad, and his versatility makes him a player difficult to replace in the short term.
The German Has Used Him as a Center Back, Full Back, and as a Midfielder. The final decision won't be easy. On one hand, Barça needs income and to reduce their wage bill, but on the other, losing such a useful player would be a significant loss at a sporting level.
