Bar\u00e7a, against Elche, added its eighth consecutive match conceding at least 1 goal. Hansi Flick still can’t find a reliable defense in the 25\/26 season, where the “cul\u00e9s” have conceded 17 goals in 14 matches<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Hansi Flick<\/strong> still hasn’t found the ideal formula for FC Barcelona’s<\/strong> defense in 2025\/26. Against Elche<\/strong>, the German once again opted for Ronald Araujo<\/a> as center-back alongside Eric Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, but the team was unable to keep a clean sheet for the eighth consecutive game.<\/p>

Rafa Mir’s<\/strong> goal in the 42nd minute was the 13th that Bar\u00e7a has conceded in the last 8 matches<\/strong>, 7 of them with Wojciech Szczesny<\/strong> in goal. The ’10’ of the Elche team broke the offside trap, starting a long run down the left from his own half.<\/p>

Araujo was in charge of covering the Spanish winger, but his passivity in marking allowed Mir to position himself towards his left and fire a crossed shot, impossible for ‘Tek’. In total, the Azulgrana team has conceded 17 goals in 14 games<\/strong>, with an average of 1.21 per match.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a still hasn’t filled the ‘gap’ left by I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez<\/h2>

Of those, 12 have been conceded by Szczesny, while Joan Garc\u00eda conceded 5 goals in 7 matches<\/strong>. In other words, both Bar\u00e7a goalkeepers have split their appearances evenly so far, with a clear difference in favor of the Catalan.<\/p>

While ‘Tek’ has responded as a substitute, he has yet to keep a clean sheet. The one from Sallent, however, had 3 clean sheets before injuring his left knee in late September<\/strong>. In principle, the ’13’ could be medically cleared this week, although the coaching staff seems inclined to give him rest until after the break.<\/p>

Beyond who’s in goal, the truth is that rivals seem to have figured out Hansi Flick’s advanced defense. Bar\u00e7a concedes too many clear chances in each match, and neither Araujo <\/strong>nor Cubars\u00ed <\/strong>are going through their best moment. Jules Kound\u00e9<\/strong>, on the right, has also raised some doubts in recent weeks.<\/p>

In that sense, the coaching staff has a lot of work ahead to regain confidence in the defense, which seems to have diminished since the departure of I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez<\/a><\/strong>. With the Basque player, there was more precision when playing the offside trap to disable rivals. <\/p>

The system remains the same, but the interpreters no longer have the same precision when applying it. With a defense constantly positioned near the midfield, any miscalculation in narrowing the space is lethal, leaving opponents one-on-one and facing the goal.<\/p>
