The 'incredible' achievements of coach Hansi Flick in finals

Hansi Flick is increasingly recognized as one of the most composed managers in European football, particularly in decisive cup matches.

An unbeaten record in every final he has participated in This is not just an impressive statistic but also a clear reflection of his coaching skills, tactical insight, and ability to handle pressure during crucial moments.

Throughout his coaching career, Hansi Flick has appeared in 8 major finals and won all of them. This winning streak began during his glorious period at Bayern Munich, where he led the Bavarian club to capture numerous prestigious titles in 2020. Under Flick’s leadership, Bayern secured the German Cup (DFB-Pokal) with a 4-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen before clinching the Champions League with a narrow 1-0 win against Paris Saint-Germain.

But that was not all; Bayern Munich continued to dominate European and global stages by winning the UEFA Super Cup, German Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. Triumphs over Sevilla, Dortmund, and Tigres showcased Flick’s distinct tactical approach: disciplined play, intense high pressing, yet maintaining efficiency in finishing. The historic sextuple in 2020 elevated Hansi Flick’s name to new heights, becoming a symbol of success in knockout competitions.

After leaving Bayern Munich, there were many doubts about whether Flick could replicate his success in a completely different environment. However, upon taking charge at Barcelona, the German strategist quickly proved his caliber. In Catalonia, Flick continued his special affinity for finals by guiding Barcelona to two Supercopa de España titles, both against archrivals Real Madrid with convincing scores of 5-2 and 3-2.

The latest peak in Flick’s unbeaten final journey is the 2025 Copa del Rey title, where Barcelona overcame Real Madrid 3-2 in a highly emotional and dramatic match. This final once again highlighted Flick’s excellent game reading ability, as he made timely adjustments that helped his team gain the upper hand at critical moments.

A common trait in finals under Hansi Flick is psychological stability and competitive composure. His teams rarely panic, even when trailing. Instead, they maintain a solid tactical structure combined with quick and sharp transitions. This quality has made Flick one of the few managers with a perfect record in major finals.
