[Saba Sports News] In the recently concluded La
Liga match, Barcelona had a surprising 3-3 draw against Granada on their home
turf. The result was unexpected, as Granada performed remarkably well against
Barcelona. This match also marked a humiliating record for Barcelona. According
to statistics, Barcelona have conceded 33 goals in the first 24 rounds of the
league, making it the second-worst defensive performance since the 21st
century. Only the 2000-01 season, when Barcelona conceded 34 goals in the same
number of rounds, had a worse defensive record. Additionally, Barcelona have
conceded 23 goals in 11 games in 2024, making them the team that has conceded
the most goals in the top five European leagues this year. It is undeniable
that the contrast between Barcelona’s performance this season and their
performance last season is significant. This season, Barcelona has conceded
four goals in a single game on three occasions. Furthermore, some players on
the team have not lived up to their performances from last season, resulting in
vulnerability in defense and a lack of defensive intensity.
