Hansi Flick becomes an Instagrammer

Barcelona manager Flick opened an Instagram account and gained 283,000 followers in an hour, with his first post in Catalan receiving 443,000 likes.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick launched an official verified Instagram account and quickly amassed 283,000 followers within an hour of joining the platform. His debut post, a greeting in Catalan saying "Hello, culers! Thank you so much for your support. Long live Barça", garnered 443,000 likes and comments. The post came after what the article describes as a difficult week for the club.

Flick is currently following only 27 accounts: Barcelona's official page and all 26 of the club's players. The article humorously notes he has far to go to match Lamine Yamal's 59.9 million followers. Among the comments on Flick's posts, fans have been suggesting defensive reinforcements the club should pursue, with particular focus on centre-back options including Josko Gvardiol, Alessandro Bastoni, Natan, and Lisandro Martínez.
