After the team’s tough night against Sevilla, Laporta made sure Hansi Flick knew exactly where he stood on the situation.
A painful night in Seville
Barcelona‘s trip to Seville had become the type of serviceable display that almost no one would have imagined based on the scoreline. They lost 4-1, only a few days after suffering a UCL loss to PSG. This consecutive defeats has left supporters disappointed. The team was disconnected unlike the Barcelona team we usually see under Hansi Flick.
The players seemed like they were unable to grab hold of their own form within the game. The atmosphere that had developed right after the whistle was hardly encouraging.
It wasn’t merely the scoreline that was painful. It was the idea about Barca’s ambition to win the title were beginning to seep into an almost certain truth. At Barca, a run of two defeats is always going to be a huge topic. But amid the noise, there was a calm voice that mattered most.
❗️Joan Laporta and all the Barça board members have absolute confidence in Hansi Flick despite the recent results.

Laporta sends a strong signal of trust in Hansi Flick
On the return flight to Barcelona, club president Joan Laporta was clear with his position. As per reports, the president spoke in person with Flick and told him the trust and back he has for him. Laporta told the coach to do what he thinks is right. He is totally confident this team can still contest for every title possible. That kind of backing speaks volumes about the president’s faith in his project.
Laporta’s message wasn’t just about morale, it was a statement to the squad and the fans. They are going through rough times, but the board is not about to let emotion take over and run in fear. It is about coming together and trying to restore confidence. The club wants to show they can act with character and intent even in troubled waters.
Author’s Opinion:
Laporta’s timing was perfect. Instead of adding pressure, he chose belief. That’s the kind of leadership Barcelona needs right now , not finger-pointing, but faith that better nights are ahead.
