A report published by the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' clarified that discussions about Hans Flick's poor second year on the bench have become common among Barcelona fans, yet historical facts indicate otherwise.

The report pointed out that Flick took charge of Bayern Munich during the 2019/2020 season, succeeding Kovac, and achieved with the team the Bundesliga and the Champions League, after the crushing 8-2 victory over Barcelona in the quarter-finals, amidst empty stadiums due to the Corona pandemic.

In his second season with Bayern, Flick managed to win four titles: the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the Bundesliga, and the DFB-Pokal, proving that the second season was not bad at all.

As for the Champions League, Bayern Munich was eliminated in the quarter-finals against Paris Saint-Germain due to the away goals rule, amid the absence of Gnabry and Thiago Alcantara due to injury, with opponents exploiting the weaknesses in Flick's defensive system.

The report confirmed that what is referred to as the bad year does not apply to Flick, as he managed the team in 86 matches, winning 70 of them, with a winning percentage of 81%, a rate that no other coach has achieved in Bayern Munich's 125-year history.
