Hansi Flick has brought back Barcelona's attacking identity, but the defence remains their Achilles' heel. The defeats to PSG and Real Madrid have made that painfully clear!
#Barcelona #ChampionsLeague
Barcelona’s attacking brilliance remains, but the same old defensive problems continue to haunt them.
Until Hansi Flick fixes the backline, their big-game struggles are unlikely to go away!

Harry Kane is a story of perseverance and hard work. The 33-year-old is also a team player; as a child, he was ready to even play in goal. He had to wait 15 years for his major trophy. And now, in his fourth season at Bayern Munich, he is a Ballon d'Or winner, one who has ended a 25-year wait for England. “It feels really, really like a dream,” said Kane.
