In his first match against Bayern Munich since leaving the club in 2021, Hansi Flick and his Barcelona squad utterly embarrassed Bayern with a 4-1 result. Raphinha delivered an electric hat trick and Robert Lewandowski, another Bayern alumnus, scored a goal of his own.
Flick was the Bayern manager for two seasons, famously earning the club’s only sextuple. Unsurprisingly, Flick took the high road and specifically singled out his counterpart, Vincent Kompany, for the work he’s done in a short time at Bayern.
“Vincent Kompany is doing a very good job,” Flick said (via Sky Sport DE journalist Kerry Hau). “I like watching them. You can feel that they have confidence and enjoy football.”
Given the last month of poor results, many pundits have questioned Kompany’s stubbornness in playing the high line. Ironically, Kompany has employed the same high defensive line that Flick also prefers. Unfortunately, Flick’s attackers were more precise in the final third and goes home with three valuable points.
