Hansi Flick’s Barcelona team have come in for huge praise from former Bayern and Spain star Javi Martinez who thinks they are the most entertaining team to watch in the world.

Barca have scored goals for fun since the German coach took over and have thrilled Martinez with their attacking brand of football.

“From the way they play, I think they are the most fun team to watch in the world,” he told Sport.

“What happens is that of course, it is a team that risks so much up front that, at certain times, if the day does not go as you expect, then anything can happen. But I love Flick’s Barça.”

Martinez also thinks that Flick is perfect for Barcelona and spoke about what it’s like to play under the him.

“Because he is a very offensive coach, who likes to deal with the ball, high pressure, he hates not having the ball… In the end, you like everything that identifies you as Barça’s style of play, right?” he added.

“He was an amazing guy. Many times when I didn’t get angry I wanted to get angry with him and I couldn’t. He would come to me and give me a heartfelt hug. It wasn’t a hug to shut me up. He always told me that he wished I could play more. He always knew what to say at all times. He was a f**king guy.”

Flick currently has his team on course to retain their La Liga title, with the Catalans back in action on Tuesday and hoping to turn around a 2-0 deficit against Atletico in the Champions League.
