"Thanks to a 4-2 win over Celta Vigo and Real Madrid's goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, Barcelona are heading into the November international break as the league's highest scorer with 32 goals in 12 matches. However, the tally from the Catalan club could have been significantly higher had it not been for their poor luck, especially when it comes to always hitting the bar."
"The bad luck is spread across both competitions, with 12 shots hitting the post in La Liga and 3 in the Champions League. This bad luck is the only thing slowing down an otherwise potent attack. The 15 shots are distributed among a wide variety of players. Ferran Torres has been the most punished, leading this unlucky ranking with four shots off the woodwork. He is followed by Raphinha, Fermin, Lamine Yamal, and Marcus Rashford with two apiece."
Barcelona are the league's highest scorers with 32 goals in 12 matches. The team has hit the woodwork 15 times this season, with 12 in La Liga and three in the Champions League. Ferran Torres has struck the post four times, while Raphinha, Fermin, Lamine Yamal, and Marcus Rashford have done so twice each. Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, and Eric Garcia have one each. The team hit the post three times at Club Brugge and twice at Celta Vigo. The high number of near-misses indicates a high volume of chances. Improving conversion after the international break is a potential target.
