LaLiga: ‘It’s done, you’re finished’ – Ex-Man United star, Quinton Fortune warns Flick over Mourinho

Quinton Fortune, a former Manchester United player, has cautioned Barcelona manager Hansi Flick about the potential difficulties that José Mourinho may pose during the upcoming 2026–27 season. Mourinho recently assumed the role of Real Madrid manager. Fortune spoke to Tribal Football regarding the preceding El Clásico matches between Barcelona and Real Madrid, which were held under Mourinho's management.

Fortune cautioned Flick to be cautious of Mourinho's reputation for employing mind games, stressing the importance of not falling prey to his psychological tactics. Fortune stated, "Hansi Flick is a calm individual, and I believe he is already aware of what is to come now that José Mourinho is back at Real Madrid. If he allows Mourinho to penetrate his mind, then it's over.

Game over." While Flick is undoubtedly a capable manager, Mourinho is renowned for his expertise in psychological warfare. Additionally, Mourinho's squad possesses sufficient talent to challenge Barcelona effectively on the pitch. "Mourinho will endeavor to divert attention away from his players while attempting to unsettle Barcelona, creating distractions and placing all the pressure on Flick and his team.

This will present a significant challenge for them." Flick, a former Bayern Munich manager, has generally achieved success since assuming command of La Blaugrana in the summer of 2024. He has particularly excelled in El Clásico, triumphing in six out of seven encounters with Real Madrid across all competitions. Mourinho's objective is to reclaim dominance from the Catalan giants, who have secured LaLiga titles in the last two campaigns.

He aims to capitalize on the quality of his players to restore control over the rivalry, a feat he accomplished more than a decade ago.
