Flick has delivered two La Liga titles in his first two seasons with Barcelona , along with two Spanish Super Cups and the Copa del Rey.
Rummenigge thinks that Flick can also win the Champions League in the future with the Catalans. “I know my old friend Joan Laporta very well , and I also know how difficult the environment in Barcelona can be. Shortly after Hansi arrived, I ran into Laporta by chance and told him: ‘You have to promise me that you’ll be Hansi’s best friend.
And that you’ll always support him to the fullest! ’ Hansi needs that trust to succeed. And I’m very happy that it has been that way,” he told Bild.
“Winning the title twice ahead of Real Madrid and, moreover, significantly rejuvenating the team, is a great achievement. I’ll say it now: Hansi will also win the Champions League with this team, if he stays there long enough. ” Rummenigge also spoke about Flick’s way of working and how he earns the trust of his players.
