Barcelona’s La Liga woes continued last night with a disappointing home defeat against Atlético Madrid.
This defeat marks their third consecutive home defeat in the league this season, a rare and worrying trend for a club of Barcelona’s stature.
He has led the team to one of their worst runs in La Liga in recent times, a situation that evokes memories of his difficulties under Frank Rijkaard in 2008.
What is the record?
Barcelona have only managed one win in their last seven league games, suffering four defeats and drawing twice in this period.
This dismal run reflects their form from March 2008, when a 4-2 defeat to Atlético Madrid began a similar poor run. At the time, the team endured a nine-game streak with only one victory, four losses and four draws.
Although a 6-0 victory against Valencia briefly gave hope, it was followed by another bad streak of eight games with a single victory.

The current scenario sees Barcelona on 38 points after 19 games, a tally greatly affected by their inability to secure wins recently.
Historically, this is One of the worst midseason point totals for the club since 2004.. For comparison, during the 2020-21 season, Barcelona had 37 points at this stage under Ronald Koeman.
The following season was even bleaker, with just 31 points after 19 games, a period in which Koeman, Sergi Barjuan and Xavi were in charge at various times.
Hansi Flick now faces the difficult task of reversing this downward spiral. Barcelona’s next league game won’t be until January 18, when they travel to Getafe.
This extended break gives Flick and his players a chance to regroup and address issues affecting the team. The hope will be to start the new year on a more positive note, leaving behind the poor results that have defined the end of 2024.
