Hansi Flick is a different type of Barcelona manager.
And for all the talk around why he was the man to take over at this point in time, two words come to mind. Champions League.
Xavi surpassed expectations this season, making a surprising run to the quarter-finals. But in his previous years as manager, his teams were knocked out unceremoniously by Eintracht Frankfurt and Manchester United respectively. Against PSG, he had them in a position to advance to the semi-finals, but his team melted down in crunch time with unforced errors, and questionable in-game management from the coach.
