"Barcelona" this season in the Spanish "La Liga" championship has conceded more goals (9) than earned points (7). This performance has led to the fact that the Catalans are showing their worst results in the league since 1994.
On Saturday, "Barcelona" players had to face defeat for the second time this season. Playing at home, the league debutant "Granada" defeated the Catalans 2-0, who are currently in seventh place after five rounds.
After the match, Ernesto Valverde took responsibility for the defeat, but admitted that he cannot explain why the team's performance differs so much at home and away.
"At home we play fantastically, but we show particularly poorly at the opponents' stadium", said E. Valverde. – I am concerned about the situation. Yes, we have injuries, but wow, we are definitely doing something wrong that we cannot achieve positive results in away games".
Talking about the match itself, the coach added: "Today we did not deserve to win. I am angry and at the same time feel responsible for what happened.
We lacked strength in the penalty area, we could not find our game for many reasons. The only way out now is to try to improve our game."
When asked if such defeats could seriously complicate their chances of winning the league, E. Valverde said: "We have many more matches ahead of us. We need to play better."
