The last time five-time winners Barcelona won the men’s Champions League was 2015, but, after a 10-year wait, is the 2024-25 season their best chance to be crowned kings of Europe again? Ernest Macia from Radio Catalunya joins World Football’s Mike Williams and George Addo to assess where Barcelona are now, if they have what it takes to win the Champions League this season and the influence of their manager Hansi Flick.
