Hansi Flick Matches Johan Cruyff’s 19-Game Unbeaten Record at Barcelona

When Barcelona appointed Hansi Flick last summer to replace Xavi Hernandez, many doubted whether the German tactician could restore the club’s former glory. Fast forward to March 2025, and Barcelona are not only back on top, but they have also become the most lethal attacking force in world football.
Flick has now matched Johan Cruyff’s record of 19 consecutive games unbeaten as Barcelona boss, a testament to the team’s rapid transformation under his guidance. In 2025 alone, Barcelona have won 16 out of 19 matches, drawing just three. Their results include a stunning 5-2 El Clásico victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, securing their first silverware of the year.

Barcelona’s unbeaten streak is built on an explosive attack that has demolished teams across all competitions. Their most impressive performances include:
7-1 vs Valencia, 5-1 vs Real Betis, 5-2 vs Real Madrid – Super Cup final victory over their biggest rivals, 4-0 vs Real Sociedad, 5-0 vs Valencia (Away) and a recent 4-2 comeback away against Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona remains unbeaten in 19 consecutive matches, winning 16 and drawing 3 across La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.
