FC Barcelona has an outstanding track record under the direction of Hansi Flick when it comes to returning FIFA date commitments. Why is this stated? We explain it to you at FCBN
The November international break has come to an end for the eight players of FC Barcelona. It is expected that they will gradually reintegrate under the guidance of German coach Hansi Flick throughout the week, with the aim of resuming club activities. The Culé squad will restart their participation on November 23rd in the match against Celta de Vigo at Balaídos in LaLiga EA Sports (matchday 14).
In that match against the Galician team, they will seek to get back on the path to victory. It is worth remembering that before this November international break, Barcelona had an atypical match against Real Sociedad at Anoeta, where a controversial disallowed goal by Robert Lewandowski sparked controversy and led to the Barcelona side suffering a 1-0 defeat.

Fortunately, for FC Barcelona, a consistent trend after returning from international breaks is that the team from the City of Barcelona usually starts well under the guidance of Hansi Flick as the coach. At least that's what the two most recent precedents regarding this matter show.
For instance, after returning from the September FIFA international break, Barcelona 'crushed' Girona at Montilivi with a resounding 1-4 victory (09/15), with Lamine Yamal being the standout performer with a brace (30' and 37'), supported by goals from Dani Olmo (47') and Pedri González (64').
Subsequently, following the October FIFA international break, FC Barcelona faced Sevilla and experienced a similar story by handing them a 'manita' by defeating the Sevillan team 5-1 (10/20), with excellent performances from Robert Lewandowski (24' and 39') and Pablo Torre (82' and 88'), each scoring a brace, along with a goal from Pedri González (28'). This demonstrates that Barça usually comes back strongly from international breaks. Will history repeat itself in this November break? Only time will tell.
