The Numbers Behind Flick's Barça Against Madrid Ahead of Sunday's Clásico

BARCELONA.- On the eve of a new league Clásico this Sunday at the Spotify Camp Nou, Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona will step onto the pitch backed by a dominant record against Real Madrid. Since the German coach took charge of the team in the summer of 2024, these high-stakes encounters have been overwhelmingly blaugrana, yielding six victories and just a single setback across seven official matches. The offensive juggernaut of the Flick era has found one of its favorite targets in its fiercest rival. Over these seven duels, Barcelona have found the back of the net 22 times—averaging over three goals per match—while conceding 13, leaving a impressive +9 goal difference. The winning run began in the first half of the 2024/25 LaLiga season with an undisputed 4-0 display at the Santiago Bernabéu. Shortly after, at the start of 2025, Barça proved their firepower again with a 5-2 victory in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals in Jeddah, capping off the season with two memorable wins: a 3-2 victory to claim the Copa del Rey at La Cartuja and a thrilling 4-3 triumph on matchday 35 of the league campaign. Although Real Madrid managed to break the streak early in the 2025/26 season with a 2-1 league win at the Bernabéu, Flick's side bounced back immediately. They first defeated Madrid 3-2 in the Super Cup final in January, followed by a 2-0 victory in the second league fixture, cementing a record that fills the Barcelona fanbase with confidence ahead of Sunday's clash.
