Flick's Barça is chasing Guardiola's record: 21 unbeaten matches in 2025

FC Barcelona will seek their 32nd title in the Copa del Rey after securing a ticket to the tournament's grand final by defeating Atlético de Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano (0-1, 4-5 on aggregate). The task will not be easy, as the Catalans will have to beat Real Madrid in the cup classic that will take place at La Cartuja on April 26, but the excitement is at its peak in the City of Barcelona.

Hansi Flick has built a Barça with the heart of a champion. The blue and garnet team has maintained a crushing dynamic since the start of 2025, demonstrating on the field that there is no way to stop them. In the 21 matches played this year, the culés have 18 victories and only 3 draws, surpassing the record set by Gerardo 'Tata' Martino and threatening Pep Guardiola's historic record.

Hansi Flick is already closing in on Pep Guardiola's record

With his victory against 'Cholo' Simeone's team, the German coach surpasses the record of the Argentine, who achieved 20 consecutive matches without losing in his only season in charge of the first team (2013/14). Once this barrier is crossed, the blue and garnet coach is already allowed to dream of matching the historic record of Pep Guardiola and, why not, those of Ernesto Valverde and, above all, Luis Enrique.

The Sampedor native reached a figure of 28 unbeaten matches in the 2010/11 season, while the team led by 'Txingurri' managed 29 consecutive matches without losing in the 2018/19 season. The Asturian, for his part, was in charge of a team that achieved a practically unbeatable milestone by accumulating 39 consecutive matches without knowing defeat in the 2015/16 season. This feat remains firm to this day as the longest unbeaten streak in the club's history, but today more than ever, it is still on Flick's horizon.

Barça is a crushing machine in 2025

The Barça has imposed itself authoritatively over its rivals in all competitions in 2025. In LaLiga, after drawing 1-1 with Getafe in the first match of the year, the culés decisively defeated Valencia (7-1), Alavés (1-0), Sevilla (1-4), Rayo (1-0), Las Palmas (0-2), Real Sociedad (4-0), Atlético (2-4), Osasuna (3-0), and Girona (4-1). In the Champions, meanwhile, they have dominated Benfica on three occasions (4-5, 0-1, and 3-1) and drew with Atalanta in the last match of the group stage (2-2).

On the other hand, the blue and garnet team is one step away from the title of the Copa del Rey after crushing Barbastro (0-4), Betis (5-1), Valencia (0-5), and Atlético de Madrid (5-4 on aggregate), with their sights set on the classic against Real Madrid in the grand final on April 26. However, the culés have already lifted their first trophy of the season in the Supercopa de España, where they were crowned champions after defeating Athletic Club (0-2) and Real Madrid (2-5).

In total, the blaugranas have recorded 18 wins and 3 draws, scoring 66 goals in these matches (140 in the entire season) and conceding only 20. In fact, the rise of the Catalans is not limited to the offensive side, as they have also managed to keep their goal clean in 10 of the 21 matches played this year. The excitement is at its peak in the City of Barcelona, where the dream of the treble is more alive than ever.
