Monaco ended Barcelona’s winning streak at the start of the season. “Monegasque” beat “blue-garnet” with a score of 2:1 in the match of the first round of the general stage of the Champions League.

For the Catalan giants, this is the first defeat of the season, as well as the first failure under the current head coach Hans-Dieter Flick.

In five previous meetings – all of them took place within the framework of La Liga – Barcelona was able to win.

It will be recalled that Flick led the team before the start of the campaign. The German specialist replaced the previously dismissed Xavi.

It should be noted that the next opponent of the Catalans is Villarreal. The match of the sixth round of the Spanish championship will take place on September 22.
