HansiFlick has once again had two consecutive defeats, a situation that has only occurred three times since his arrival at Barcelona in the summer of 2024. The last double defeat, which occurred in February 2026, involved Atlético de Madrid in the Copa del Rey and Girona in LaLiga, and has called into question the solidity of the team under his command.
Since the start of the 2024-25 season, Barça has suffered four defeats in a row under Flick, but none have had the same weight as the current one. The first pair of losses occurred in December 2024, when the team lost 0‑1 against Leganés and 1‑2 against Atlético de Madrid, both games played at home. In the 23 previous matches, the club had suffered four other defeats: 2-1 against Monaco, 4-2 against Osasuna, 1-0 against Real Sociedad and 1-2 against Las Palmas, also in its stadium.
From that first double defeat, Barcelona achieved an impressive streak of 20 wins and four draws in all tournaments, including the League, the Champions League and the Cup. The only significant setback was the 3-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the European quarterfinals, although Barça had won the first leg 4-0. Despite that setback, the team won the League, the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey under Flick's direction.
In the 2025-26 campaign, Barça stumbled again twice in a row in October, losing 1-2 to PSG at home and 4-1 to Sevilla as a visitor. The response was brief, with only two wins before Real Madrid beat them 2‑1 at the Bernabéu. Since then, the team has maintained streaks of several days without losing.
The last double defeat occurred in February, when Barcelona lost 4-0 against Atlético in the Copa del Rey and 2-1 at the Girona stadium in LaLiga. After those results, Barça managed nine games without losing, with eight wins and one draw, before Atlético surprised them 0-2 in the first leg of the Champions League. In the second leg, Barcelona came close to coming back, but the final result was not included in the statement.
With the season still underway, Barcelona will have to consolidate its position in LaLiga and the Champions League after these two setbacks. The next phase of the schedule will include decisive matches against high-level opponents, and Flick's coaching staff will have to adjust tactics to prevent the team from falling back into consecutive losing streaks.
