Three consecutive defeats, including a 2-1 loss at home to Las Palmas in the 15th round of La Liga on Nov 30, have led to questions being raised about Flick and his team’s title ambitions. Barcelona have had a gloomy November, falling fast from their stellar start to the season.
Barcelona entered November showing strong momentum with 10 wins in its first 11 games and looking unstoppable. However, the subsequent schedule revealed the hidden dangers of the team. While a string of wins over Espanyol and Red Star Belgrade earlier in the month had given the team hope, the subsequent loss to Real Sociedad, the draw with Celta Vigo and the eventual home defeat to Las Palmas took a significant dip.
