Flick's Barça surpasses Luis Enrique's Barça's record
In this way, the team led by Hansi Flick has managed to surpass the unbeaten run that the team led by Luis Enrique reached at the beginning of 2016. Barça reached a streak of 22 games without losing in official competitions (League, Cup and Champions League), from January 2, 2016, with a 0-0 draw against Espanyol, until April 2, when they lost 1-2 against Real Madrid in LaLiga.
During this period, Luis Enrique's team achieved 19 victories (12 in the League, 5 in the Cup, 2 in the Champions League) and 3 draws (2 in the League, 1 in the Cup). At that time, the round of 16 and quarter-final Cup ties were played over two legs. In the League, in fact, the culés strung together 12 consecutive victories until the fall in the Clásico, while in the Champions League they left Arsenal in the way, in the round of 16, with a global score of 5-1.
The defeat against Madrid, for its part, started a series of 3 defeats in the League, but Barça managed to keep the title with 1 point of advantage over the 'merengues'. In the Champions League, the azulgrana team would fall in the quarterfinals against Atlético (3-2 on aggregate), while the Cup did remain in the Catalan showcases, after a 2-0 victory against Sevilla in extra time at the Vicente Calderón.
