Hansi Flick spoke of a “hard defeat” and a “really big disappointment” – and the Spanish newspapers also didn’t find anything good about the next setback for FC Barcelona in Spain’s La Liga. “Barca, getting worse,” was the headline Marca. sport wrote about Flick’s “first mini-crisis”.
The fact is: With the 1:2 against Kellerkind UD Las Palmas, Flick and his team suffered their first home defeat of the season and remained without a win in the third league game in a row. The Catalans remain leaders with 34 points, but their pursuers Atlético Madrid slipped to within two points at the weekend.
The big victories under the former national coach just a few weeks ago in the Champions League against FC Bayern (4:1), in the Clásico of the league against Real Madrid (4:0) and in the city derby against Espanyol (3:1) are gradually coming closer into the background. The newspaper Sport on Sunday instead listed “ten reasons” for Barca’s dry spell Mundo Sports cited the “many things” the team can improve.
“We have to be more consistent when we have the chances. I miss the consistency in front of goal, scoring the goals. And of course on defense,” complained Flick. The defeat on Saturday didn’t just hurt in terms of the table. One day after the club’s 125th anniversary, she also spoiled the anniversary for the club bosses. “Las Palmas eats Barca’s anniversary cake,” was the headline As.
