Flick's Barça closes 2025 with 31 wins in 37 league matchdays

FC Barcelona ended 2025 with a solid victory against Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica (0-2). Goals from Raphinha and Lamine Yamal sealed a result that allows the team managed by Hansi Flick to go into the Christmas break with the winter championship secured, although there is still one match of the first half of the season left to play in January for the top three classified teams.

For the moment, the Barça team has accumulated 46 points, the result of 15 wins, 1 draw, and only 2 losses in 18 matches. Added to what was done in the second half of the previous season, in the calendar year, the Catalans won 31 of the 37 League matches they played between January 18 (Matchday 20 of 24/25) and December 21 (Matchday 17 of 25/26).

Flick's Barça obtained 96 out of 111 points in play this 2025 in LaLiga

After a shaky start to 24/25, which included 5 losses in the first half of the season, 3 of them consecutively at Montjuïc, Hansi Flick's team was a juggernaut in the second half of the previous season. The Catalans only dropped a couple of draws (against Getafe and Betis) before securing the title on matchday 36

Barça won 16 of 19 matches in the second half of the season, 9 of them consecutively and only lost on matchday 37 (against Villarreal), with the title already decided after the victory in Cornellà against Espanyol

Already in the 25/26 season, the blaugrana team also suffered a couple of defeats in the first ten matchdays (Sevilla and Real Madrid), in addition to a draw against Rayo (J3) before starting a streak of 8 consecutive victories that allowed them to go into the year-end break with a 4-point lead over Real Madrid.

In that regard, adding what was done in the second half of 24/25 and the records from the first 18 matchdays of the current season, Barça secured 96 out of 111 points played (86.48%) in 37 matchdays this year in LaLiga. The balance in the calendar year was 31 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, with a total of 102 goals scored and only 37 conceded.

Barça scored 51 goals in 19 matchdays in the second half of last season and the same number of goals in the first 18 matchdays of 25/26. Defensively, performance was very similar, with 17 and 20 goals conceded in each half of the year, respectively.

Barça's 27th season as winter champion

With the victory against Villarreal, Barcelona secured being winter champions in LaLiga for the 27th time in its 126-year history. Of the last 16 opportunities the club finished first in the first half of the season, in 13 they managed to win the title.

After 'Txingurri's' departure and Quique Setién's subsequent arrival, the Catalans finished second with 82 units, 5 points behind Madrid (87).

The other two precedents date back to the 2013/14 and 2006/07 seasons. Barça led at the halfway point with 50 and 39 points, respectively, but the title went to Atlético and Real Madrid. 'Tata' Martino and Frank Rijkaard were Barça's coaches in those seasons.
