Hansi Flick wants to win the UEFA Champions League at Barcelona, as he publicly confirm his intention of staying at the Spanish giant.
Flick in on the verge of winning his second LaLiga title in two years but there have been reports he might leave Barca when his contract expires in 2027.
Having recently brushed aside questions on the matter, Flick has now admitted that he would like to stay beyond 2027. “Yes, I would like to extend my contract, but it’s not the right time to talk about it, as we have some important weeks ahead of us,” said Flick ahead of Wednesday’s league match against Celta Vigo.
He also stressed his desire to “win the Champions League with Barça and be the manager when the new stadium is completed”.

”I also had a great time at Bayern Munich and with the national team, but looking at everything around me, I really see that this is the best. My family and my staff are enjoying being here. It’s fantastic to see the team. A club like Barça and the dream of winning the Champions League have to be fought together and next year we will try again.
”In these matches, momentum and small details also matter. At this time, at the end of the season, it’s important to have all the players available, and we didn’t have De Jong, Raphinha.
“It’s not an excuse but it is important. Last year we had Iñigo, who was a great leader. We need players who lead on the pitch. It’s not just about playing two meters further forward, but in the Champions League we also have to talk about other things. The team is young and we’ll learn. We will.”
Barcelona currently hold a nine-point advantage over Real Madrid with seven rounds left, putting them on course for the title. A second Liga triumph in Flick’s second campaign would take his personal tally to five trophies with the club.
