Hansi Flick suffered his first career defeat not in the Champions League playoffs


Today, Barcelona suffered a surprising 1-2 defeat away to Monaco in the first match of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League group stage. This loss was particularly significant for their head coach, Hansi Flick.
Details: For the first time in his career, Hansi Flick lost a Champions League match that wasn't in the knockout stages. While managing Bayern Munich, he had an impeccable record in the group phase, never tasting defeat.
However, his first match in the revamped Champions League format ended in a loss.
Moreover, this marked Flick's first defeat as Barcelona's head coach. The Catalans had won all five of their opening La Liga matches this season.
Reminder: Barcelona played with 10 men from the 10th minute after Eric García received the quickest red card in the club's Champions League history.
