Won the domestic triple crown! Flick + Treasure Boy, Barcelona Dream IV is beginning to take shape?

The reporter reported coldly 2-0, thanks to goals from Yamal and Fermin, Barcelona did not postpone the pre-match celebrations. Espanyol has become the "champion backdrop" for the 10th time in La Liga history, and the third time it has become Barcelona's La Liga champion backdrop. Xavi's Barcelona won La Liga at Espanyol's home turf two years ago, and Flick's title was both harder and greater. As Barcelona president Joan Laporta said: "This is a historic season, Barcelona has overcome all (league) opponents, as well as all (on and off the field) difficulties.

Before the game, Barcelona were confident of repeating the history of beating Espanyol two years ago, after all, they are unbeaten in their last 11 matches, with seven wins and four draws. Barcelona even planned the time and route of the championship bus parade in advance, departing from Gamble Sports City at 6pm local time today to the Camp Nou, which is being renovated. Arrive at the Arc de Triomphe next to the Parc de la Castle at 9:30 p.m., passing by several Barcelona landmarks along the way.

This is the ninth time since 1951/52 that Barcelona have won the league and cup double, the last time being in 2017/18. But what makes Barça even more proud is that they have won the domestic treble (Super Cup, Copa del Rey and La Liga) for the second time since 1952/53 in the same season. At that time, it was the famous coach of Czechoslovakia Dodzyk who coached it, and the name of the Super Cup was still the Duarte Cup. Now with German coach Flick in charge, the Super Cup has become a more difficult overseas four-team competition. Barcelona have won the double 13 times in their history and missed the domestic treble, and since the 2008/09 season, Barcelona has missed the opportunity to win the domestic treble eight times, and Guardiola's "dream three" at the peak could not achieve this achievement (the six crowns in the 2008/09 season were the same year, and did not win the 2008/09 Spanish Super Cup). Real Madrid has only won the domestic treble in 1988/89, which shows the difficulty of the domestic Grand Slam.

led the team to win the second domestic treble honor in the history of the Barcelona team, and Flick, who coached for the first time, made great contributions. The German coach overcame the difficulties on and off the field such as the lack of new signings and the player registration crisis, based on the internal potential, promoted La Masia's newcomers and activated the existing players, and won the domestic treble with the youngest first-team squad (25.1 years old) in La Liga. Moreover, the season "four kills" of the rival Real Madrid, the three trophies are based on beating Real Madrid. The Champions League also reached the last four, just one step away from the final.

Flick's Barcelona debut season can play 90 points. He not only allowed Barcelona to reconquer Spanish football, but also made the future "Dream Four" with Yamal as the core of the "Dream Four" with a gorgeous attacking football style, the number of goals scored in the top five leagues this season, and the promotion of La Masia's lineage, which is more valued by Barcelona people. Barcelona has re-emerged as a first-class team capable of challenging for the Champions League, and Flick is about to renew his contract with Barcelona. In time, Flick's Barcelona revival will not be a flash.

Flick's success is particularly valuable against the backdrop of Barca's financial crisis. The German coach knows that only trophies are the best way to respond to any doubts. He rarely complains about objective difficulties, does not get emotional on the sidelines, but keeps running in an imperfect lineup in a low-key manner, and finally achieves near-perfect results.

Flick led the team to play an attacking football that relied on pressing up front, with a variety of attack points, and was pleasing to the eye, activating Raphinha, who was not in good form last season, and bringing Lewandowski to another level was the key to success.

If it weren't for the Champions League defeat, Raphinha's statistics this season would even be very likely to compete for the Ballon d'Or, with 34 goals and 25 assists in 55 games, an average of more than one goal per game. Last season, Raphinha made just 37 appearances, with 10 goals and 13 assists, just 40% of this season's figures. Raphinha's worth has also soared from 50 million euros last summer to 80 million today. Lewandowski scored 26 goals and 9 assists in 49 games last season and 40 goals and 3 assists in 50 games this season, with a 50% increase in goals and a 22.8% increase in the number of goals involved. Under Flick, almost all of Barcelona's players have improved significantly compared to before: Inigo Martinez has re-emerged as the core of the defence, Pedri is no longer the "glass man" who has been riddled with injuries in the midfield, and De Jong has returned from injury to regain his form.

Of course, Barcelona is more interested in the collective ascension of La Masia's newcomers. Yamal, who has 17 goals and 25 assists in 53 games this season, is already the team's standard-bearer, showing Messi's potential when he was young. At the age of 17 years and 306 days, he became the youngest player in history to win the La Liga and Copa del Rey double, as well as the triple crown in Spain. Yamal (17) and Koubasi (18) are the core of the front and back, and among the players who have played more than 1,000 minutes this season, goalkeeper Peña, defenders Cupius, Balde, E. Garcia, midfielders Gavi, Fermin, Casado, Olmo and winger Yamal are all La Masia's elites.

Centre-back Koubasi, who was spotted by Xavi last season, has made Flick an absolute mainstay in defence this season. Casado, a 21-year-old defender, was also found by Xavi and was also reused when Flick was in charge. In addition, defender Fonte, midfielder Bernal, winger Ansu Fati, left-back Gerard Martin, midfielder Pablo Tole and striker Pau Victor, who only joined La Masia as an adult, are also potential elements that Flick has developed for the team. Eight of the players who have played more than 1,000 minutes this season are under the age of 23, and Barcelona have formed a new core of Cubasi-Casado-Pedri Fermin Yamal, not counting Gavi, who is yet to return to his best, and Balde and Gerard Martin at left-back.

It's Flick's success, and it's La Masia's youth success. Of course, Barça's domestic Grand Slam has not been without its challenges. With Araujo, De Jong and Gavi injured at the start of the season, and Olmo missing due to a registration crisis, Flick boldly used the newcomer to 11-1 in the first 12 rounds, laying the tactical and confident foundation for the subsequent Grand Slams. Before the New Year, Barcelona was still five points behind Atletico Madrid in the standings, and after the New Year, La Liga was unbeaten in 17 games, 16 wins and 1 draw, and was unbeaten in 24 regular time games in all competitions, and was the only team in the five major leagues to achieve this achievement. By the time the domestic treble was reached, only one of the 33 matches in regulation time had been lost in the New Year.

Compared with the introduction of Mbappe, Real Madrid, who are star-studded but empty, Flick's foothold in La Masia's "treasure boy" has made Barcelona's future look brighter.
