FC Barcelona Femení head coach Pere Romeu received a message of support from men’s team manager Hansi Flick ahead of El Clásico, Mundo Deportivo reported.
Hansi Flick Sends Supporting Message Before El Clásico
The communication between coaching staffs shows that the club is in an ongoing dialogue. Pere Romeu revealed during an interview with ESPN that Hansi Flick reached out prior to the weekend fixture to wish the women’s squad luck. The gesture reinforces a relationship established during previous months, when Romeu noted the German manager’s proactive interest in the women’s team’s tactical development and preparation ahead of UEFA Women’s Champions League fixtures.
Domestic Dominance Follows European Momentum
The message preceded a commanding 7-0 rout of Real Madrid in Liga F action on Sunday, building on a strong European performance against Roma. Romeu pointed to defensive discipline and territorial control as the catalysts for the lopsided scoreline, noting that the team limited opponents to minimal scoring opportunities while maintaining a high pressing intensity. The result leaves the manager satisfied with how the squad executed its game plan from the opening whistle.
Youth Integration Reshapes the Squad After Departures
Squad composition has shifted following the departures of established veterans such as Alexia Putellas, Mapi León, and Ona Batlle. To offset these exits, Romeu has integrated academy prospects including Clara Serrajordi and Aïcha Camara into senior matchday squads. Leadership responsibilities have simultaneously fallen to experienced captains like Patri Guijarro, Caroline Graham Hansen, and three-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmatí, maintaining tactical continuity despite offseason roster turnover.
