Barça still cannot keep a clean sheet. The Catalans have only left their goal untouched in 8 of the 32 matches played this season, conceding a total of 38 goals
The FC Barcelona had a more than pleasant night at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. The team led by Hansi Flick crushed Valencia practically without breaking a sweat, delivering a staggering 7-1 that will be remembered by all Barcelona fans and could be key in the team's aspirations in LaLiga EA Sports.
However, despite the resounding victory against the Che team, the Blaugranas were once again punished in their 'Achilles' heel'. Although Carlos Corberán's side barely approached Wojciech Szczesny's area, they managed to break through the Polish goalkeeper's defenses and scored a consolation goal, extending the Catalans' poor streak in this regard.
Barça fails to close the goal
With Hugo Duro's goal, the Catalans have now accumulated 10 consecutive matches in La Liga conceding at least one goal, their worst record since 2018, when Ernesto Valverde was on the bench. In fact, in the last 7 shots on target they have allowed, the Blaugranas have conceded 5 goals, and have only managed to keep their goal untouched in 3 of the last 18 matches played.
- FC Barcelona-Espanyol: 3-1
- Real Sociedad-FC Barcelona: 1-0
- Celta-FC Barcelona: 2-2
- FC Barcelona-Las Palmas: 1-2
- Mallorca-FC Barcelona: 1-5
- Betis-FC Barcelona: 2-2
- FC Barcelona-Leganés: 0-1
- FC Barcelona-Atlético de Madrid: 1-2
- Getafe-FC Barcelona: 1-1
- FC Barcelona-Valencia: 7-1
In total, the team has only managed to keep their goal clean in 8 of the 32 matches they have played this season. The Blaugranas have conceded 38 goals across all competitions (24 in the league, 11 in the Champions League, 2 in the Supercopa de España, and 1 in the Copa del Rey), which have been received by Marc-André Ter Stegen (7), Iñaki Peña (25), and Wojciech Szczesny (6). In an almost perfect Barça, Flick still has to solve his great pending subject.
