After Barcelona's 4-1 defeat to Sevilla, many critics appeared to criticize Hansflick's style of play in this particular match, arguing that he should have changed his approach slightly depending on the circumstances.

Real Madrid and Germany legend Toni Kroos, while discussing the current style of play of Barcelona under Hansi Flick, when asked about Barcelona on the Einfach mal Luppen podcast, explicitly criticized Hansi Flick's style on several points.

Barcelona have one of the most attractive playing styles, if not the most attractive, in all of Europe, but I think they take too many risks. On a bad day for Pedri, Lamine, or Raphinha, any team can hurt them and beat them—you can knock them out of the Champions League. That's what happened last season against Inter, and this year they'll face another team like that who could eliminate them from the tournament.

Kroos stated.

From the 75th minute on, you can see everyone getting more and more fatigued, but they don't adjust their style to close down the space. If you're tired and you don't change the way you play, it becomes painfully obvious how vulnerable you are.

Kroos concluded.
