Pep Guardiola Was the First to Warn About the Danger of Egos in Barcelona’s Dressing Room
Back in June, Pep Guardiola had already warned about Flick’s Barcelona: the real threat wasn’t the rivals, but the egos inside the dressing room.
A Revealing Interview
After wrapping up last season, Pep Guardiola gave an extensive interview to DAZN. Relaxed and at ease alongside former Barça youth player Eneko Fernández, the Manchester City manager reflected on the difficulties of a trophyless campaign and left remarks that now resonate even more.
The most striking moment came when, without being asked about FC Barcelona, Pep brought up the topic himself. While praising Hansi Flick’s style of play and the rise of youngsters like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Pau Cubarsí, he slipped in a warning that went almost unnoticed at the time.
With a young dressing room full of talent and expectation, Guardiola’s words now feel like an early warning: Barça 2025-26 will not only need to win on the pitch, but also conquer its own egos.
