Evra is far more sceptical, though. Barca have not won the Champions League since 2015, when the fabled 'MSN' trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez masterminded a 3-1 final win over Evra's Juventus. The Frenchman was also twice on the losing side against Barca in finals with Man Utd, and he does not believe Flick's current squad holds a candle to their great teams of the past.
"Listen, Barcelona fans need to wake up and face reality. I see all those 'Remontada' profile pictures everywhere; it’s time to be humble and take them down," Evra said, as per Diario Sport. "This isn’t the Barcelona of 2015; that team no longer exists. We’ve seen them crumble time and time again on the big stage, and, quite frankly, they’re not capable of doing it again."
