Hansi Flick is continuing to set new standards at Barcelona and some are a slightly more unusual than others.
Under former Bayern and Germany coach, they have produced some incredible feats with the latest coming against Red Star.
The hosts appeared to have struck a blow for the Blaugrana with an opener in the early stages of Wednesday’s Champions League encounter.
But Timi ElÅ¡nik’s effort was disallowed for offside – taking Flick’s side to triple figures for catching their opponents out in just 16 games this season.
That tally stands at an average of just over six per fixture for the current LaLiga table toppers.
That smart defending worked to their advantage as Iñigo MartÃnez put Barça at the Stadion Rajko Mitić before Red Star equalised later in the half.
Clearly there is room for both method and madness in ‘Flickball’.
