During the first-half of the Barcelona-Athletic of this Sunday, Philippe Coutinho -by double game- and Paulinho sent three shots to the wood of the goal of Kepa Arrizabalaga. Already they are 38 the sticks of the FC Barcelona this season 2017-18
The 'gafe' of this season 2017-18 for the FC Barcelona are being, without place to doubts, the shots that finish stamping in the stick. And it is that the Barcelona group is one of the teams that more goals has marked in all the European football, but these figures could be still greater if the luck had accompanied a bit more to the ones of Ernesto Valverde.
This Sunday, in front of the Athletic of Bilbao, Philippe Coutinho sent a balloon to the crosshead in the first-half and, few minutes afterwards, an attempt of vaselina of the Brazilian also finished in the crossbar. Before it finished the first act, besides, Paulinho shot from out of the area and his shot went to the wood, prolonging like this the bad luck of the Barça with a 'hat-trick' of sticks.
The FC Barcelona could mark two goals
Fortunately, the ones of Valverde had achieved to materialise to the rest two goals, work of Paco Alcácer and Leo Messi, that served for desequilibrar the marker against the Athletic of Bilbao and approach three very valuable points before the stop of selections.
It seems that the culés are little lucky this season, at least in this appearance of face to door. The 38 sticks that carries the Barcelona team during the current season seem to suppose an authentic curse, mitigated by the quantity of occasions -and goals- that it is able to generate the FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde.
Messi, almost the half of the sticks of the Barça
In until 38 occasions the wood has refused the Barcelona shots, something that could have improved radically the figures goleadoras of the team culé. If focalizamos only in Leo Messi, besides, the Argentinian has been the protagonist of 17 sticks, practically the half
It is clear as that, if the Argentinian and the rest of his mates had fine-tuned a bit more the puntería in some parties, the numbers goleadores of the Barça would have shot . And in particular the ones of Messi, that could have distanciado in the fight by the Boot of Gold 2018, in which Mohammed Salah has him won the game for now.
