Barcelona’s 18-Match Clean-Sheet Drought Raises Champions League Concerns
Barcelona’s 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain extended their troubling run without a clean sheet in the Champions League. Hansi Flick’s side have now conceded in 18 consecutive matches in the competition, the longest such streak by a Spanish club. Barcelona’s attacking approach has remained potent, but their aggressive high defensive line continues to leave large spaces for opponents to exploit. PSG took full advantage, with Désiré Doué, Lucas Hernández, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz all scoring. Pau Cubarsí has been Barcelona’s most reliable central defender, but injuries and a lack of depth have exposed the team’s limitations. With Andreas Christensen sidelined again, Flick has few dependable options at the back. Barcelona will need to tighten up defensively if they are to turn their attacking quality into a serious Champions League title challenge.
