Hansi Flick reaches 50 wins as Barça coach
Not just another victory. Barça have won away to Oviedo in a city they hadn't visited for 24 years and it also means Hansi Flick can celebrate 50 wins as coach. The German tactician has managed to reach a half century of wins in 67 games in just over a season, making him the third-fastest to do so in Club history.
Only Luis Enrique and Helenio Herrera have better records
Barça claimed their sixth win in seven games this season at the Carlos Tartiere stadium, and there were the 44 wins from the 60 games played last season. Superb stats for coach who has settled in tremendously well. Only Luis Enrique, who won 50 games of the first 60, and Helenio Herrera, who did it in 63, achieved the feat faster.
Flick has also done it with a very recognisable playing style that delights FC Barcelona fans, who are enjoying watch this brave, free-scoring and fun Barça side play. It's also a winning style, as those 50 games have already brought the three trophies that formed part of the triple won last season. Flick wants to raise the bar even higher this season and the ambition is through the roof. His self-demanding approach means he probably won't resting on his laurels to dwell on the achievement for long, as he will likely already be plotting victory number 51.
Pere Romeu and Flick keeping pace with each other
The women's first team coach Pere Romeu is also in the same situation curiously, having achieved win number 50 in the blaugranes' win in Seville last weekend. Two coaches who both took charge in summer 2024 and have kept pace with each other for wins so far.
