Barcelona an unstoppable force in the Flick era
Barcelona have made a great start in all the tournaments they are participating in this season, under the leadership of their German coach Hansi Flick, who took over the task in the summer after the Spaniard Xavi Hernandez. The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that Barcelona has been moving from victory to victory since their defeat against Osasuna in the second round of La Liga, and has not given their rivals any rest, neither in the Spanish League nor in the Champions League. The newspaper added that it does not matter whether Barcelona is playing in the Spanish League or the Champions League, their opponents come out of the matches disturbed and frustrated because they find themselves unable to stop the attack and score against Hansi Flick's team. It pointed out that since the Catalan team's loss to Osasuna, Barcelona has defeated its Swiss rival Young Boys (5-0), Deportivo Alaves (3-0), Sevilla (5-1), Bayern Munich (4-1), Real Madrid (4-0) and Espanyol (3-1), and all the team's players are in exceptional condition, especially the attackers. Barcelona raised its score after winning the Catalonia derby on Sunday evening to 33 points, to top the Spanish League table, while Espanyol came in seventeenth place with 10 points.
