Hansi Flick’s team, who have started the season in impressive fashion with four wins in as many league games, were back in action on Saturday with a 7-0 victory over Valladolid. It was an attacking spectacle that set a new record.
Former Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick, who arrived this summer at Barcelona, is already proving that he is no joke in Catalonia. And a statistic from Actu Barça backs this up.
As Blaugrana coach between November 2021 and June 2024, his predecessor Xavi had a controversial record. And it seems that Barça has gained something in return. Never during the Xavi era did Barça score six goals or more. Flick’s Barça only needed four games (not counting pre-season) to score seven!
📊 FC Barcelona has never registered 6 buts with Xavi. On this 7th floor with Monsieur Hansi Flick.

Of the 16 players (eleven starters + five new arrivals) who were on the pitch when the seven goals were scored, seven were responsible for the goals (assists + goals). Raphinha scored a hat-trick and provided two assists, while Robert Lewandowski scored one goal and provided one assist.
The performance also allowed the team to rotate, particularly with the introduction of young players. Eric García (23) and Ferran Torres (24) acted as veterans alongside Domínguez (19), López and Torre (21).
Barça have 12 points out of a possible 12 and will face Girona in La Liga and Monaco in the Champions League after the international break.
