The manager of Barcelona, Hansi Flick, is the taste of the month in the Catalan capital, and even his predecessor likes his work. This was evident after Xavi Hernandez posted a photo with Flick at his home last week, making it clear that there was no friction between him and the man who took it from him. There was a time when their relationship hit an awkward moment.
The couple has been in contact for some time reveals The AthleticXavi meeting while Flick he was manager of Germany. When Xavi received no response from Barcelona about his future last May, the news of Sporting Deco Director and Player Manager Bojan Krkic traveling to London to meet Flick dominated the headlines, and Xavi took the business in his hands. He sent a text to Flick asking if he was in negotiations with Barcelona, and Flick replied that he was not, “for the purpose of future relations”, despite his meeting with Deco.

Flick sent Xavi a message last week during the international break, hoping to make sure there was no resentment from his Catalan counterpart, asking if they could get back together. The meeting supposedly went “extremely well,” according to sources from both camps. The photo of the couple also sent a message of peace to the world.
The former manager of Bayern Munich has distanced himself from suggestions that the meeting with his former team and the Clasico this weekend will be the litmus test for his new Barcelona Barcelona, but until this point, he could not wish a better start. If Barcelona come out the other side of these two games in good form, then Flick will have the steel-reinforced support of the club and the fans.
