“Seeing the parade, with so many young people and almost 800,000 people on the streets, proves that Barça is the best club in the world,” he added.

Yuste praises Hansi Flick and Deco

Yuste reserved special praise for Flick, whose impact at Barcelona has gone beyond just results on the pitch.

The German coach has received recognition for understanding the club’s identity, particularly the importance of La Masia and the club’s tradition of trusting young talent.

“He is an extremely experienced manager, with many years in football and experience with top-flight teams.

“But he has also understood very well what Barcelona means, what it means to be a ‘culé’ and what La Masia represents.

“That has allowed him to connect with very young players who have enormous respect for him,” he explained.

Yuste also highlighted the influence of sporting director Deco, praising the relationship built between the Portuguese official and Flick behind the scenes.

“The combination of Deco and Flick is exceptional,” he noted.

Barcelona’s 12th man

Another major factor behind Barcelona’s successful campaign, according to Yuste, has been the supporters themselves.

The club official revealed that Flick and the players have repeatedly spoken about the energy created by the fans throughout the season.

“We often talk to Flick about the energy the stadium radiates.

“The players feel it, and they themselves tell me to thank the fans because they have been a massive part of our success in this league.”

Yuste eventually ended the interview by making it clear that Barcelona’s ambitions are not stopping with the men’s team’s La Liga triumph.

“Let’s keep winning titles,” he concluded.
