As the 2025–26 season begins to peak over the horizon, Hansi Flick is gearing up his Barcelona side for the start of his highly anticipated second campaign in charge.
The first practice sessions of the summer have seen plenty of familiar faces return, as well as some newcomers that’ll begin their Barcelona career. What’s evident from the first few images of said training sessions, is the absurd attacking depth heading into season.
This should come as no surprise, Barcelona scored 174 goals across all competitions in2024–25, the third highest mark in club history. Flick’s attack became the deadliest in Europe, resulting in the club’s first ever domestic treble. But Barcelona want more in 2025–26 and, with a few additions already in house, the Blaugrana goalscoring machine could become even more prolific.
In Flick’s traditional 4-2-3-1 set-up, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal command the wings. Dani Olmo—when healthy—is the man in charge of the No. 10 role, right behind the timeless Robert Lewandowski, who leads the line.
These four players are the penciled in starters for next season, though, Barcelona have plenty of other alternatives capable of being difference makers off the bench.
Here’s ranking of Barcelona’s best attacking alternatives that are set to start the 2025–26 season in a supporting role.
