Barcelona is experiencing a critical phase after suffering two consecutive defeats for the third time since German coach Hans Flick took over the team, according to a report by the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo'.

The recent defeats came against Atletico Madrid in the King's Cup and then against Girona in the Spanish League, putting the team in a challenge to quickly regain lost confidence.

This is not the first time Barcelona has recorded two consecutive defeats under Flick's leadership, as similar instances occurred in the past and current seasons.

In the 2024/2025 season, the team lost to Leganes and Atletico Madrid before the Christmas break, while in October 2025, they fell to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, followed by a loss to Sevilla in the Spanish League.

Historically, the team's reactions after each double setback vary. After the December 2024 defeats, Barcelona rebounded with an impressive streak of 24 unbeaten matches '20 wins and 4 draws', which continued until the loss to Borussia Dortmund in April.

Meanwhile, after the October 2025 defeats, the team achieved only two victories against Girona and Olympiacos before losing the Clasico to Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu.

The report confirmed that Barcelona coach Hans Flick continues to focus on correcting defensive errors and increasing intensity and focus in matches, which was partially achieved after the 3-0 victory over Chelsea, starting a streak of 11 consecutive wins.
