Hansi Flick started out his Barcelona career on a high, after winning five straight league games in a row to top the La Liga table.

Barcelona’s form seemed to have dropped a bit after recent defeats to Monaco and Osasuna. Nevertheless, Hansi Flick has recorded eight wins in ten games.

Speaking to the media on Friday, former Barca star Rivaldo spoke on his ex-club’s start to the season, and the performance of new manager Hansi Flick.

Rivaldo gave Hansi Flick his deserved credit, but also warned that, in the end, it will only matter if the German manages to deliver silverware when the season rounds up.

“At big teams like Barca, everything depends on the results,” Rivaldo began, as cited by Diario Sport.

“It’s true that Flick’s Barca are performing phenomenally… but there’s still a lot of championships ahead.

“A lot of Champions League, a lot of La Liga, the cup. I would be cautious and wait until the end of the season. If you don’t win a title at Barcelona, ​​the fans and the press will criticise you.”
