Barcelona faces a La Liga crisis, struggling with consistency despite recent cup victories and key player absences.

FC Barcelona is currently grappling with a significant crisis in La Liga, despite showcasing dominant performances in other competitions. The team recently celebrated a resounding 5-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España and another 5-0 win against Real Betis in the Copa del Rey. However, their domestic campaign has been marred by inconsistency, highlighted by a disappointing 1-1 draw against Getafe. This result extended a troubling streak where Barcelona has secured only one win in their last eight league matches, suffering defeats against Real Sociedad, Las Palmas, Leganés, and Atlético de Madrid, alongside draws against Celta de Vigo and Real Betis.

The draw at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez marked the fifth consecutive season in which Barcelona has failed to secure a win at this venue, underscoring their ongoing struggles. Despite leading the league in goals scored with 52, the team`s offensive performance has been erratic, and their defensive frailties have been exposed by various opponents. Under the management of Hansi Flick, concerns are growing regarding the tactical approach that has failed to translate success from other competitions into La Liga results.

Currently, Barcelona sits in third place in the La Liga standings with 39 points from 20 matches, trailing Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid, who have 44 and 43 points, respectively. The team`s irregular performance has been compounded by the absence of key players like Ansu Fati, while defender Balde has publicly addressed the issue of racist insults directed at players during the match against Getafe. As the season progresses, Barcelona`s ability to regain form and consistency will be crucial for their ambitions in La Liga.
