Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona have experienced a brutal and dizzying decline in La Liga. After adding 12 wins and 1 defeat in the first 13 games, the Catalan team closes the first half of the season with a terrifying run of results, achieving one win in the last 7 games, as well as 2 draws and 5 losses, the last of them against Atlético de Madrid in Montjuïc this Sunday (1-2).

This hard fall at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys leaves the team led by the German with 38 points in their first 18 games in the league championship. Numbers that leave the current Barça coach behind Xavi Hernández, who in his two full seasons at the orders of Barça surpassed these records.

The numbers from Xavi and Flick's first 19 La Liga games

In their first full season in charge of the Barça team, in 2022-23, the team led by the man from Egar accumulated 50 points by recording 16 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with a balance of 39 goals for and just 7 against. The Blaugranas drew with Rayo Vallecano (0-0) and Espanyol (1-1), while they were defeated by Real Madrid in the first Clásico of the year at the Bernabéu (3-1).
