Barcelona’s defensive problems have become a major headache for Hansi Flick, who has already used ten different backline combinations in the club’s opening 13 competitive matches.

Injuries have prevented the German coach from establishing a settled defensive unit, and Saturday’s La Liga encounter against Alaves is set to bring another reshuffle, potentially taking that tally to 11 different combinations in 14 games.

Barcelona’s defensive instability has been particularly striking, with injuries repeatedly forcing Flick to change his selection. Of the ten backline combinations used so far, only two have featured more than once.
