Barcelona Matches Unwanted Club Record in La Liga

In a recent La Liga fixture, Barcelona drew 1-1 with Getafe, extending their streak of matches where they’ve conceded goals. This result has equaled an unwanted club record.

The Catalan giants have now allowed goals in nine consecutive La Liga matches, matching a negative record last set in 2018 under then-manager Ernesto Valverde. This defensive vulnerability has become a concerning trend for the team.

Despite this setback, Barcelona currently holds the third position in the league standings with 39 points. They trail the league leaders, Atletico Madrid, by 5 points. Meanwhile, their recent opponents, Getafe, sit in 16th place with 20 points.

This defensive frailty poses a significant challenge for Barcelona as they aim to close the gap at the top of the table and compete for the La Liga title. The team will need to address these issues to maintain their championship aspirations for the season.
