Revealed: How NBA icon Michael Jordan is inspiring Barcelona's dressing-room makeover - and it's all because of Hansi Flick

Copa del Rey

Barcelona

Real Madrid

<p>Hansi Flick has revolutionised Barcelona ever since arriving at the club last summer. He has instilled a different mentality in his players, which has set his team on course to win a treble. Now, <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20250418/1002447618/hansi-flick-redecora-vestuario-equipo-frases-motivacionales.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a> reveals that Flick has taken over responsibility for a dressing room makeover, and legendary basketball player Michael Jordan is at the centre of inspiring the Barca players.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Flick has ordered a revamp of the first team’s dressing room at Ciutat Esportiva, featuring motivational quotes from iconic athletes like Jordan, an NBA legend. The screen-printed vinyl messages, many in English, are designed to instil competitiveness, discipline, and team spirit — core values Flick hopes will strengthen the squad’s mindset and performance on and off the pitch.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Moreover, Flick has also received immense admiration from his squad, thanks to his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/inside-hansi-flick-barcelona-kicking-water-bottles-inviting-staff-players-dinner-strict-dress-code-methods-success/blte570d92fd45cf4a2#cs12f48f1a5c0f19ed" target="_blank">strictness towards discipline as well as his approachability</a>. He has adopted a no-nonsense approach to avoid any complacency from creeping in, as evidenced by the several <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jules-kounde-hansi-flick-punishes-barcelona-defender/bltdfa922c4d1338cac" target="_blank">punishments Jules Kounde has received for turning up late to pre-match routines</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/furious-hansi-flick-lengthy-rant-la-liga-fixture-scheduling-joke-barcelona-boss-speechless/bltafb6b47b2548095d" target="_blank">Flick expressed his frustration over the fixture scheduling</a> ahead of Barca's LaLiga encounter against Celta Vigo on Saturday, April 19, in a lengthy rant. The former Bayern Munich manager will be overseeing a hectic next 30 days in charge of the Catalans, who will be playing as many as nine games during the period.</p><p>It could all be worth it at the end of the season as the Blaugrana are currently four points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table. They are the favourites to win the Copa del Rey final against Madrid next Saturday, while they are also in the running for a spot in the Champions League final, for which they will contest with Inter in the semi-finals.</p>
