Once unstoppable, now unsteady - Numbers being Barcelona's worrying away form | Barca Universal
"To put things in perspective, last season, the Blaugrana were a force to be reckoned with on their travels. They played a total of 29 away matches, winning 21, drawing three, and losing just five. Their attacking prowess was remarkable, scoring 79 goals, an average of 2.79 per match, while conceding only 36 at an average of 1.24. Those numbers reflected a team that combined defensive stability with attacking flair, traits that are now alarmingly absent."
"This season tells a completely different story. After just eight away games, Barcelona have managed only four wins, two draws, and two losses. Their scoring average has dropped to 2.12 goals per match, with just 17 goals scored in total. Meanwhile, the defence has faltered, conceding 14 goals, an average of 1.75 per game. Why are they failing? Looking at the numbers, it is clear that Barça no longer dominate away fixtures as they once did."
Barcelona's away performances have deteriorated, producing only four wins, two draws and two losses from eight away matches. The attack's scoring average has fallen from 2.79 to 2.12 goals per game, with just 17 goals scored, while the defence has conceded 14 goals at 1.75 per match. Last season's 21 away wins, 79 goals and defensive solidity have evaporated. An advanced defensive line now exposes the backline to counterattacks, and injuries have disrupted rhythm and continuity, reducing attacking fluidity. Hansi Flick faces pressure to restore balance and recover the team's former road dominance.
