Hansi Flick was appointed during the summer to replace axed Xavi Hernandez ahead of the start of the campaign.

Hansi Flick enjoyed a brilliant start to life in the Barcelona dugout, opening up an early advantage in the La Liga table courtesy of 11 wins from 12.

However, the German’s honeymood period has come to an end following recent results.

After the defeat to Las Palmas over the weekend, Barcelona have now managed just a point from their last three league matches.

With 15 games played, Barcelona have managed 34 points from 15 fixtures under Hansi Flick.

Interestingly, this happens to be the exact point haul which Xavi had secured at the same point in 2023-24 season.

Moreso, Xavi had also racked up four points more after 15 games the season prior.

It means, Xavi should be cut some slack from his critics.
