Barça started losing for the ninth time this season

The Athletic of Madrid surpassed against all prognosis to the FC Barcelona this past Thursday in the semifinals of the Supercopa of Spain​. The culés had to trace back the so much initial of Koke, but finished putting by in front 2-1 thanks to his good game and his command of balloon. It seemed that the party was closed, in spite of the so short result, but the Barcelona failed by enésima time in defence and the colchoneros gave him the turn to the marker.

The defeat supposes a varapalo very hard for the barcelonistas, since it was the first title at stake of the campaign. The fiasco has a lot of readings, but one of the most important is the easy that results for the rivals of the Barça arrive to door and mark a goal. The so much of Koke supposed, in fact, the ninth occasion in which the Barcelona has begun losing in this first-half of season.

The first time that occurred this course was against the Athletic in the first day. The lions marked first and finished doing well this goal to win by 1-0. The Betis also advanced , but the culés could trace back and finish winning by 5-2. Against the Leganés and the Inter occurred the same and the ones of the 'Txingurri' gave him the turn to the marker to win 1-2 and 2-1, respectively. Instead, the blaugrana began losing in front of Osasuna, Real Sociedad and Espanyol, but only could empatar to 2 in front of the three groups.

Therefore, the Atleti is the ninth team that advances in front of the Barcelona in what it goes of campaign. The colchoneros, besides, the same that did the Athletic, could achieve the victory. But this data is not what more has to concern to the Barça, is the fact that of these nine meetings the Barcelona only have been able to trace back and win three of them. Only the crashes against the Betis, the Leganés and the Inter finish with victory.

In front of Osasuna, Real Sociedad and Espanyol, the ones of Valverde empataron and put by in front, but at the end yielded the tie. Against the Athletic not even could empatar by fault of the goal of Correa. This speaks very bad of the regularity that keeps the Barça in his meetings and of his defensive capacity. All what the culés win up finish it losing backwards by fault of concentration or of defensive mechanisms.

Too many goals fit by the Barça

That the Barcelona have fit already 30 goals between all the competitions is a tremendously notable data to explain all this. If the barcelonistas do not attain to defend better seems very complicated that they can raise some important title this course. Depend on the 'MSG' and of Ter Stegen is a very dangerous game in the important days, as it saw in the Supercopa. To finish celebrating some title, is indispensable that Barça improve in defensive phase.
