Not Xavi or Guardiola: the one Barça coach that won more than Flick in first 100

Hansi Flick reached 100 official matches in charge of Barcelona on Saturday against Villarreal, posting a remarkable record of 75 wins, nine draws and 16 defeats, with 281 goals scored and 119 conceded. Those figures have already delivered four trophies for the German coach – two Spanish Super Cups, one LaLiga title and one Copa del Rey.

Which Barcelona manager won more than Flick in first 100?

In fact, only Luis Enrique managed a more successful run across his first 100 games at Barcelona. The Asturian finished that stretch with 80 wins, 11 draws and nine defeats, scoring 282 goals and conceding 77, during a magical first year in 2015 that culminated in a historic treble – LaLiga, Copa del Rey and Champions League – powered by the famed attacking trio of Luis Suárez, Lionel Messi and Neymar.

Not even the first 100 matches of a club icon such as Pep Guardiola between 2008 and 2010 were as productive as the German’s. The Santpedor native recorded 71 victories, 19 draws and 10 defeats, with 242 goals scored and 76 conceded.

The contrast is even starker when measured against the most recent Barcelona managers to reach the 100-game milestone. Ernesto Valverde posted 68 wins, 23 draws and nine defeats, with 241 goals for and 80 against, while Xavi Hernández recorded 63 victories, 18 draws and 19 defeats, scoring 191 and conceding 95.

Who are Flick’s most played stars?

Across those 100 matches under Flick, the most-used player has been Jules Koundé with 92 appearances, two more than Pau Cubarsí with 90, while Lamine Yamal ranks third in minutes played during the German’s tenure. In terms of goals, Robert Lewandowski leads the scoring charts in the Flick era with 56 – nine more than Raphinha with 47, and 21 more than Ferran Torres with 35.
