The mood surrounding Barcelona heading into the October international break couldn’t be lower.
Paris Saint-Germain deservedly handed Barcelona their first defeat of the season in a highly-anticipated Champions League clash. Four days later, Sevilla pummeled Barcelona 4–1 to hand them their first La Liga loss of the term.
Barcelona hadn’t lost consecutive games in over nine months. Now, there’s serious concerns regarding the state of Hansi Flick’s side and the German has two weeks to try and come up with a plan to address them.
However, it might be too soon to hit the panic button, Barcelona have been here before. What better way to assess Barcelona’s start of the season than to compare it to the first 10 games of last term? When upon Flick’s arrival, they’d go on to conquer a maiden domestic treble.
