La Liga is competitive and not tangible league, so the new manager understands the circumstances. Hansi Flick was the man that would trigger changes for the club but what happen? He's starting portraying his weakness at such early phase. He's unable to dash huge point difference against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. This are his main oppositions, perhaps he can pursue his priorities this season. Barcelona next oppositions is RCD Mallorca and we do expects them to grab a winning point at home.

I'll like to cut Flick some slacks because he took on a team of young players and is making the best with what he's got. I expected him to do well with Barcelona, but not this good. He has made a few mistakes, like the Osasuna game where he rented about 6 of his starting player and played a defence of 18 year olds all through but I think he's doing well.
Barcelona has not lost a game where all their first team players are complete. They should have won their last league game against Las Palmas but they were without Casado, Yamal and Olmo. Balde got injured earlier on and was replaced by Martin. So I don't think they've been that bad.
I believe they will find their form again, same thing I also believe about Real Madrid. The season is long and I don't expect any team to just trash through every opponent they meet.

What's currently happening to the formidable Barcelona? It's a curious question because Les Blaugrana form declined in previous league games, been unable to grab a victory in the last 3 games played.

Yamal
They missed Yamal. He's a very effective player that can put passes in behind the opponents for Raphinha to chase. With Yamal on the pitch the defense is always on their toes because he can put dangerous balls in behind and that will make the team not be able to attack as much as they'd like to.
But when Yamal is not on the pitch, the defense is free to attack as they want.
