"Last night was not easy for the Catalans as they had to play nearly 55 minutes with a man down after Ronald Araujo was sent off with a second yellow card in the first half. Chelsea, who had been in control of the game even before the red card, grew even more dominant and did not allow Flick's side any way back, with their goalscoring streak of 53 games now coming to a halt."
"Out of the 53 consecutive matches in which Barcelona had scored, 33 were in La Liga. So, the domestic streak is still alive, and the team are aiming for the target of 37 straight league games scoring, a mark achieved by Ernesto Valverde's Barcelona in 2019. As such, the La Liga champions must score against Alaves, Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, Osasuna, and Villarreal if they want to surpass the current record."
Barcelona lost 3-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, suffering a second Champions League defeat after an earlier loss to PSG and a draw with Club Brugge. The defeat ended a 53-game scoring streak that had lasted since a 1-0 loss to Leganes on 15 December 2024 and also ended a 24-game Champions League scoring run. Ronald Araujo was sent off with a second yellow in the first half, leaving Barcelona to play nearly 55 minutes with ten men. Chelsea dominated before and after the red card and prevented any comeback. Of the 53 scoring games, 33 were in La Liga, keeping the domestic streak alive. Barcelona must score in upcoming league matches against Alaves, Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, Osasuna, and Villarreal to reach 37 consecutive league games scored.
