Barcelona's lunchtime curse! Hansi Flick becomes latest victim as Barca suffer problem Jurgen Klopp hated at Liverpool

Following Barcelona's shock 2-1 loss to Las Palmas on Saturday, Mundo Deportivo highlighted the Blaugrana's recent struggles with playing at 2pm in La Liga games. They pointed out that their 1-1 draws with Cadiz, Espanyol, and Rayo Vallecano in 2020-21, 2022-23, and 2023-24 respectively also took place at that time.

Barca have gone from appearing to be runaway La Liga leaders to being hauled in by the chasing pack. They have lost two of their last three matches and are just one point ahead of Real Madrid - and their bitter rivals have a game in hand. They need wins and fast.

During Klopp's Liverpool tenure, he had a win percentage of just under 61 but that dropped to under 50 per cent when his side played games on a Saturday at 12.30pm. Back in 2018, he referred to it as the "breakfast" slot.

Barcelona will look to return to winning ways when they travel to Mallorca on Tuesday, before visiting Real Betis four days later in two big La Liga games.
