Barcelona's recent performance has been marred by consecutive home defeats, the latest being a shocking 1-0 loss to LeganƩs, a team that had not won away all season. This defeat marked Barcelona's second consecutive home loss, following a 2-1 defeat to Las Palmas, and their fourth loss of the LaLiga season.
The team's inability to recover from falling behind on the scoreboard has been a significant concern. Since late August, Barcelona have lost every match in which they have trailed, showcasing a lack of character and energy to turn around adverse situations. This has resulted in the team taking only five points out of a possible 18 in their last six matches.
Hansi Flick's side has also been criticized for their high-risk defensive line, which teams in LaLiga have now figured out how to exploit. Additionally, the majority of Flick's players appear tired and lacking in sharpness, with the coach himself facing criticism for not rotating the team sufficiently.
The absence of 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal, who is out injured, could further complicate Barcelona's situation, especially with the upcoming match against Atletico Madrid. Yamal's injury and Flick's suspension from the touchline add to the challenges Barcelona will face in maintaining their lead at the top of LaLiga.
