Hans-Dieter Flick

2 trebles in 5 years of managerial career would be insane...

And it's very much possible. Our competition in league and cup is laughable while in CL we do look at the level of our opponents.

I trust Hansi to pull it off but ofc won't be mad if we don't

If he does it though it won't be as substantial as Pep's treble or Enrique's treble, due to weaker competition and worse football level in general than in them days.

All this treble talk is a big jinx.

I mean it's inevitable, when everything points towards it

People will naturally start talking about

Question is if it affects the players in some negative way considering how young they are but I think not

Enrique's was the best of the lot IMO.

We beat City, PSG, Bayern, Juve in KOs. Prime RM and AM in LL and CDR.

And our record against big teams in 14-15 was 12 W, 2L (to PSG in CL group stages and Bayern in dead rubber after up 5-1).

That's their disadvantage

Flick's disadvantage is having an infinitely inferior squad to theirs. Don't think a single player from this team gets into either 08/09 or 14/15 starting lineups.

True. It's evened out by Barca themselves being weaker than Barca then. So it's weaker vs weaker as opposed to stronger vs stronger.

I was going to say Yamal gets in but realized Messi played RW in 08/09 and 14/15 lol.

No chance.

Current RL9 is better than 2009 Henry.

He'd be a great backup though. Not that you ever sub Messi, but he could come in for Eto'o or Henry or Suarez or Neymar and Messi could move to false 9 (in 14/15, he hadn't yet become a false 9 in 09).

 

[KingLeo10]

Current RL9 is better than 2009 Henry.

Agree but not better than 2009 Eto'o who played striker.

 

[MonteCuler]

Current RL9 is better than 2009 Henry.

Don't think Lewa's current technical level is sufficient for Pep's Barca at all

Raphinha this season over Henry in 2009. Pedri would be over Rakitic, as much as I loved the later.
Tek over VV, though not for Pep. Would do the job similar to Bravo in 2015.
Inigo vs Mascherano is another tough one.

Pep did like RL9 a lot and that too in a period where Pep used to prefer false 9s over actual 9s. Isn't that saying something about Robert and Pep?

His current technical level isn't the same as it was 10 years ago

True. Flick is doing wonders with the squad.

Man how do you believe in things such as jinx in life, there’s nothing wrong with having hope and believing. I don’t assume you guys were saying these things back in 2009 and 2015 when the treble wasn’t expected or even thought of….
