In the last couple of weeks, there seems to be a widening gap between Barca’s LaLiga form and their performance in more “important” games, such as the Super Cup Final and the Champions League.
This disparity is evident in the 5-2 thrashing of Real Madrid and the incredible comeback against Benfica on Tuesday (overcoming deficits of 3-1 and 4-2, respectively). It appears the squad is performing at different levels across competitions. So, what does success look like for Hansi Flick this season?
With a trophy already in the cabinet and Barca still competing in three tournaments (LaLiga, Champions League, and the Copa del Rey), fans are understandably salivating at the prospect of adding more silverware.
