Barcelona this season registered themselves as the worst team in their 25-year history when referring to points in the first eight matches of the Spanish League.
Barcelona was only able to win 11 points from the initial eight matches. With the maximum points that can be obtained is 24, that means Barcelona have lost 13 points this season.
Since 1995/1996, Barcelona have never scored fewer points than they are today when they played their first eight matches in the Spanish League.
The three defeats themselves came in the last five matches played by Barcelona. Getafe, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid became the teams that successfully incised defeat on the face of Barcelona.
In the last duel against Atletico, Saturday (21/11), Barcelona failed to provide resistance and finally fell 0-1.
Barcelona’s inability to compete at the start of the season means they are now nine points behind Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid in the standings.
With a bad record at the start of the season, Barcelona are now stuck in 10th place. The Blaugrana clearly cannot keep their dream of winning the Spanish League this season because they themselves are far enough behind to simply qualify for the Champions League zone.
This bad situation clearly made Ronald Koeman’s position depressed. He has not been able to find the right formula to lift Barcelona’s performance.
Ansu Fati, who skyrocketed at the start of the season, is now injured and could be out for a long time. Lionel Messi, who has been reliable so far, was sluggish at the start of the 2020/2021 season because his psychological condition was disturbed due to the failure to move.
One thing that benefits Barcelona a little, they have already earned nine points in the Champions League. This allows them to focus more on La Liga when a busy schedule awaits the next month.
In the next three matches, Barcelona will face Osasuna, Cadiz and Levante.
