Flick's Barça embraces comebacks: against Frankfurt, the fourth in a row!

Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona continues to demonstrate surprising competitive strength. In the return of a European match to the Spotify Camp Nou, the Blaugrana overcame Eintracht Frankfurt (2-1) thanks to a brace from Jules Koundé in the early minutes of the second half.

The triumph not only keeps the team on an upward trajectory but also extends a historic record: Barça has now strung together four consecutive comebacks and has seven so far in the 2025/26 season. The victory against Eintracht came after a sluggish first half, in which the Germans took advantage of their only clear chance to take the lead.

But the script was the same as in previous matches: an insistent **Barça**, confident in its approach and capable of turning the score around with a mix of conviction, energy, and collective determination. Flick's team has made the word comeback a recurring hallmark.

4 comebacks in a row: the figures of a Barça accustomed to reacting

Hansi Flick's team has made resilience one of its main strengths. Since his arrival, Barça has achieved a total of 16 comebacks spread across last season and the current one:

• 9 comebacks in the 2024/25 season
• 7 comebacks in the 2025/26 season

And the four consecutive comebacks in question — **Alavés (3-1), Atlético (3-1), Betis (3-5) and Eintracht (2-1)** — show a clear pattern: even when the team suffers, it rarely loses its identity or emotional control

In total, 16 of the 60 victories achieved by Barça with Flick on the bench have come after falling behind on the scoreboard. A notable percentage that speaks to both the group's competitive ability and the German coach's tactical impact.

Historic milestone: Barça had never come back from four consecutive matches

Until this week, the Barcelona club had never strung together four victories after falling behind on the scoreboard. A record that defines the personality of Hansi Flick's team and that directly links to their way of competing: constant high pressing, offensive rhythm, tactical variety, and emotional capacity to sustain difficult matches.

With this new comeback, FC Barcelona reinforces an emotional state that has become its trademark: the ability to react to adversity and the firmness to turn around difficult matches. The team continues to accumulate arguments to believe in a solid, competitive project prepared to fight for everything.
