World Sports Rates Four Notable Barca Players Who Have Thrived Under Flick: Lewandowski and Rafinha Included

The World Sports lists four Barcelona players who have had a breakout under Flick.

Lewandowski

He is averaging more than one goal per game, once again becoming the undisputed top scorer. He scored a hat-trick against Alaves, bringing his La Liga tally to ten goals, plus two in the Champions League for a total of twelve. He has started all eleven games, averaging more than one goal per game.

Inigo Martinez

As an indispensable starter and leader, there were rumors in the summer that he might leave, but after Flick saw his training, he decided to keep him. Due to injuries to teammates, he got the chance to start, not only performing reliably but also becoming a team leader. In the match against Young Boys, he even scored a goal, forming a perfect partnership with Kubarcis.

Pedri

No matter where he plays, Pedri has shown his magical talent. Flick assigns him the role of an organizer in a double pivot, and sometimes pushes him forward to the attacking midfielder position. In both cases, he played a crucial role. He scored two goals in La Liga and provided one assist in the Champions League.

Rafinha

Rafinha not only performed excellently on the field but also became a leader in the team. His performance on the field far surpassed his time at Leeds United, and even outperformed his first two years at Barca. He scored six goals and provided five assists, with his most recent two assists given to Lewandowski in the game against Alaves. He performs better in the attacking midfielder position and also demonstrated his speed in vertical attacks.
