Barcelona Faces Worst La Liga Start Under Hansi Flick

Barcelona, under the leadership of Hansi Flick, faced another setback as they lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid at Montjuïc Stadium during the 18th round of La Liga. Despite creating numerous chances, missed opportunities by Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha resulted in their second consecutive defeat.

This loss intensified pressure on Flick, who enjoyed a strong start but now faces criticism for Barcelona's decline. The team has managed only two points in their last six La Liga matches, marking their worst performance among all 20 teams during this stretch.

Flick's current win-loss record shows a 25% loss rate, the highest among the club's recent four managers. Comparisons to last season further emphasize the decline, as Barcelona had earned three more points at this stage in the previous campaign.

The defeat to Atletico sparked calls from fans for changes in leadership, a scenario unimaginable just weeks ago. Barcelona must regroup quickly to salvage their season and meet the high expectations set by their supporters.
