It has been over two months since the arrival of 2025 and the Hansi Flick’s Hansi Flick’s ship still does not know what it means to lose a match. Barça’s strength is spectacular in itself and has had several great performances, such as the two victories, with a slight hand in the classic included, to lift the Super Spanish Cup. In addition, several goals to move on to the Copa semifinals or to the Grand Cordda to assault the league.
13 wins and three draws
And no, I didn’t forget about the Champions League, with two highlights, the two visits to Lisbon to play against Benfica. The first, an epic 4-5 in the rain in the league phase and, the second, more recently, with an exercise in resilience, with less than 70 minutes, to get a more than valuable 0-1 in front of 16. All these matches are part of a brutal record of 13 wins and three draws in the 16 matches that Barça played at the beginning of the year.
The PSG defeat leaves Barça alone
There is no defeat, something that absolutely no team from the five major European leagues can say. Until Wednesday, the other team that could say so was Paris Saint-Germain, but their defeat against Liverpool (0-1) makes Flick as Flick’s unique undefeated team. The Parisians have now lost one match out of the 17 they have played, while there are six other teams with a defeat.
Bayern, after 14 matches, only lost to Feyenoord (3-0). Bologna, with 13 matches played, only lost to Parma (2-0). And then, other teams that do not play in the European competition have a smaller sample. Napoli and Torino lost only one of the nine matches, while Espanyol and Villarreal did so with seven contested duels.
