Manager Hansi Flick is on the verge of reaching a truly special milestone at Barcelona. The 61-year-old could achieve this as early as Tuesday. However, the hurdle could hardly be bigger.

Hansi Flick and Barcelona have not been stopped by anything or anyone in the opening weeks of the season. The Catalans started with eleven wins in eleven competitive matches, lead the La Liga table comfortably, and sit level on points with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the UEFA Champions League standings.

On Tuesday, the highly anticipated clash with the French side takes place in the elite competition at the Parc des Princes. Should Flick and his side also win in Paris, the German manager would reach a truly remarkable milestone. It would be his 100th victory as Barcelona manager—in just 129 matches.

Flick soon on the same level as Pep and others

In the long history of the Spanish club, only eight managers have reached 100 victories, including the manager of the upcoming opponent: Luis Enrique. This circle also includes such illustrious names as Pep Guardiola, Johan Cruyff, Louis van Gaal, and Frank Rijkaard.

Flick has managed Barcelona in 85 league matches (68 wins, 5 draws, 12 defeats), 28 UEFA Champions League matches (18 wins, 4 draws, 6 defeats), eleven cup matches (9 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat), and four Super Cup matches (4 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats). His record in home matches is particularly impressive. In 59 home matches, he has lost only six (with four draws).

Barcelona's record against the upcoming Champions League opponent remains room for improvement. In 16 encounters, the Catalans have won only six, the same number as PSG. Four matches ended in draws. In the two most recent meetings in the elite competition, the Parisians won 4-1 and 2-1. In the current standings, PSG also has a slight edge, though only because Enrique's side has scored one more goal than the Spanish champions.
