Flick has already lost more Liga games (5) than Xavi did all of last season, but the Blaugrana are in the worst run of form across the division, with just one win and five points from their last seven games.
As indicated by MDThose losses cost Flick comparisons with managers beyond Xavi too. They say Flick's five defeats in 19 games is a 26.3% loss rate. It compares poorly with Xavi (15%), Ronald Koeman (21%) and Quique Setien (16%).
