There is little doubt that Barcelona’s main objective for the 2026-27 season will be to win the Champions League. The Catalans have not won the competition since 2015, but now is surely their best chance to reclaim European glory once again, given the setup they have in place.
Hansi Flick has been a revelation since taking over as Barcelona head coach in 2024, and he has instilled a winning mentality at the Spotify Camp Nou. With the likes of Pedri, Rodri, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha at his disposal, it is clear that 2027 could be the time for the Catalan club to shake off their European demons.
Barcelona supporters across the world are desperate to see the club win the Champions League again, and ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher would also welcome this. Speaking after the [5-1 victory over Feyenoord](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/yamal-9-5-raphinha-9-0-fc-barcelona-5-1-feyenoord-player-ratings/) earlier this week (via [MD](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20260910/1004225680/garragher-rinde-futbol-barca.html)), he explained that he sees the Catalans being able to “come back” to Europe’s elite this season.
**“Great teams always come back, and I have a feeling it’s time for Barcelona to come back. Real Madrid is the most successful team, but you don’t learn from their style. I think there’s nothing better than seeing Barcelona win the Champions League in their own way… Maybe the way PSG has played the last two years, but Barça is a special football club that plays a special brand of football, one without equal. It may be that they return to those days when they all operated in the same stratosphere.”**
Carragher is also backing Lamine Yamal to complete the trifecta of Champions League, Euros and World Cup, with the 19-year-old having already won the latter two competitions with Spain.
**“Perhaps it is true that he wasn’t at his best in the summer, but he is 19 years old and has already won the European Championship and the World Cup. He still has the Champions League to win.”**
