Flick staying until 2028
Hansi Flick is not going anywhere. He confirmed at today's press conference that he has agreed a contract extension with Barcelona until 2028 (1) (2) (3) (5). Two league titles in two seasons. That's the record that earned him the new deal. "I'm in the right place," he said (5). The extension comes with an option clause, according to German reports (2).
Tonight: Alaves away, the 100-point hunt
Barça travel to Mendizorroza tonight (21:30) already crowned champions, but there's still something to play for. A perfect home record and 100 points for the season remain on the table (4). Alaves are in the relegation zone and will give the champions a guard of honour before kick-off (6). Their two top scorers, Toni Martínez (12 goals) and Lucas Boyé (11 goals), are doubts for the match (6). A sell-out crowd of 19,840 is expected.
Fan pulse
The mood on Reddit is pure celebration. Fans are still buzzing from the title parade, sharing footage of Barcelona streets flooded in blaugrana colours (see the thread here). The Kroos quote doing the rounds is also getting attention. The Real Madrid legend admitted Barça's movement patterns and game plans outclassed Madrid, which Barça fans are taking as a badge of honour.
