Barcelona are ‘candidates to win everything’, claims ex-forward; praises midfield trio

Speaking on SER Catalunya, former Barcelona forward and current Club Brugge star Ferran Jutgla has claimed that the Catalans are capable of winning all titles this season if they continue playing at this level.

Jutgla left Barça for Club Brugge in 2022 and has grown into an important player for the Belgian club, most recently scoring for them in the UEFA Champions League knockout playoff first-leg vs Atalanta.

Jutgla praises Hansi Flick’s Barcelona

Talking about Barcelona’s season so far, their first one under new manager Hansi Flick, Jutgla was full of praise for the team, backing them to win all possible trophies if they maintain consistency.

“They are playing very well. If they continue at this level, I think they are candidates to win everything. They are doing super well and they must maintain this consistency until the final months,” said Jutgla.

The 26-year-old also highlighted the performances of midfield trio Pedri, Gavi, and Fermin Lopez, stating that it was fantastic to watch them.

“Pedri, Fermin and Gavi are at a very high level, it is a pleasure to watch them play,” the Spanish striker noted.

Not stopping at that, Jutgla went on to claim that he would welcome the opportunity to face Barcelona at some stage in the Champions League.

“I would be very excited and I would live it with great passion. It’s a shame that we were not able to meet in the group stage, but I hope that one day I can play at Montjuic or at Camp Nou or against Barça,” he noted.

Jutgla made nine first-team appearances for Barcelona under Xavi Hernandez, scoring two goals in the process.
