Watch: Barcelona stars provide Hansi Flick with ‘tunnel of slaps’ during training

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick was the latest victim of a playful tradition at the club’s training ground on Monday.

This comes with the German celebrating something of a momentous birthday.

Flick for his part turned 60 years old today, the 24th of February.

Amid what has been a fine debut season to date in charge of La Liga heavyweights Barcelona, the former Bayern Munich boss was in turn afforded a special entrance to training on Monday.

As much came by way of a ‘tunnel of slaps’, an act which sees the Blaugrana’s players form a tunnel, with one individual – on this occasion Flick – making his way through whilst being playfully slapped and pushed.

Check out footage of the moment in question below:

Elsewhere, Hansi Flick’s special day has also been commemorated by way of a prestigious individual prize.

As per a release across La Liga’s website and social media platforms on Monday, the German has been named the Spanish top-flight’s Manager of the Month for February.
