Hansi Flick, undefeated in finals: 7 out of 7 to surpass Guardiola

The Copa del Rey title with FC Barcelona allowed Hansi Flick to extend an incredible streak in finals. Since his arrival at the Bayern Munich bench in 2019, the current Azulgrana coach has never lost a match for an official title.

In total, the man from Heidelberg has managed 7 finals as coach, with 100% effectiveness. Flick won the first six titles he played for with Bayern in 2020, with which he reached five finals won with the Bavarian team.

The streak began with obtaining the Pokal (German Cup) against Leverkusen (4-2) and the Champions against PSG (1-0). Afterwards, he did his homework in the European Super Cup (2-1 against Sevilla) and the German Super Cup (3-2 against Dortmund).

Already in 2021, he defeated Tigres de México in the final of the Club World Cup 2020 (1-0), thus completing a sextuple that only Pep Guardiola had won with Barça in 2009. In addition, the man from Santpedor also won his first 6 finals as Azulgrana coach.

Flick vs. Guardiola: Who is the king of finals?

The man from Santpedor, for his part, also won the Copa del Rey (4-1 against Athletic), Champions (2-0 against United), Spanish Super Cup (5-1 on aggregate against Athletic), European Super Cup (1-0 against Shakhtar) and Club World Cup (2-1 against Estudiantes) en route to the sextuple.

In addition, he won the Spanish Super Cup again in 2010 against Sevilla (5-3 on aggregate) to reach 6 finals won in a row. However, Pep could not reach 7 finals won after falling in the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid in 2011 (1-0).

That was the only final that Guardiola lost with Barça, since he would later win the Champions again (3-1 against United), European Super Cup (2-0 against Porto), Spanish Super Cup (5-4 on aggregate against Madrid) and Copa del Rey (3-0 against Athletic) to close his stage with 14 titles in four seasons.

Flick, for his part, has added 2 more finals to his record in 2025 with Barcelona, both against Real Madrid. The German crushed the 'merengues' in the Spanish Super Cup (5-2) and also left them empty-handed in the Copa del Rey (3-2).

And, as Joacuim Köw's assistant, Hansi also won the World Cup in 2014 against Argentina (1-0), which means there are 8 undefeated finals for the current Barcelona coach. Simply incredible.

Similarly, Saturday's victory at La Cartuja allowed Flick to become the second coach capable of winning his first three official Clásicos. Barça has 3 out of 3 victories in the 24-25 season against the Whites, with a balance of 12 goals in favor and 4 against.

Pep Guardiola, between 2008 and 2010, defeated Madrid 5 times in a row in LaLiga, with a balance of 16 goals in favor and only 2 against. The streak was cut short with a draw at the Bernabéu (1-1) and, in his first final against the 'merengues', he fell by the minimum.

Xavi Hernández also won 3 Clásicos in a row in 2023 (3-1 in the Super Cup, 2-1 in Liga and 0-1 in Copa), but he did so in his second season on the Azulgrana bench.
