Barcelona and May 6: A Treble in 2025?
May 6 has marked key milestones in Barcelona’s historic trebles. Will 2025 follow the same script?
FC Barcelona seems to share a special bond with May 6. In 2009, a dramatic late goal by Andrés Iniesta at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea secured a Champions League final berth, paving the way to a legendary treble. Six years later, in 2015, the team led by Luis Enrique defeated Bayern Munich 3–0 at Camp Nou in the first leg of the semifinals, with a stellar performance by Lionel Messi, en route to yet another treble. Now, on May 6, 2025, Barça finds itself once again in a Champions League semifinal, this time facing Inter Milan, with a chance to make history repeat itself.
A Calendar That Fuels Belief
Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona has already lifted the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey this season. It also leads LaLiga, placing the team in a prime position to chase another treble. The squad has exceeded expectations, especially considering economic constraints and a series of injuries. The return of Robert Lewandowski has strengthened the attack, while young talent Lamine Yamal has delivered in key moments—like the first-leg draw against Inter.
History Repeats Itself: Coincidence or Fate?
In 2009, after a 0–0 draw in the first leg, Iniesta’s 93rd-minute goal in London sent Barça to the final, which they won against Manchester United. In 2015, Messi’s brace and a goal by Neymar at Camp Nou pushed the team to yet another final and treble. Now in 2025, the club finds itself in a similar scenario. The mix of experience and youth—with key figures like Lewandowski and Yamal, and Flick’s tactical guidance—keeps fans dreaming.
Once again, history and date seem to align. Could this May 6 be the beginning of another glorious chapter in FC Barcelona’s legacy? The future is in their hands.
