„Barcelona“ for the third time in a row fails to achieve victories. Moreover, Xavi's disciples achieved an unpleasant result in historical context.

After yesterday's draw with „Valencia“ (1:1), 17 consecutive matches have been counted, in which „Barcelona“ fails to beat their opponent by more than one goal difference. This is the second worst series in the history of the Catalan club. The 1962-1963 series had reached 18 matches.

After unsuccessful matches, the „Barcelona“ coach highlighted poor finishing chances.

At the press conference, Xavi said: „We are probably one of the worst finishing teams in Europe. I am very dissatisfied today. 

We are one of the least effective teams in Europe, even though we are among those teams that create the most chances. We need to instill confidence in the players to be the most effective in attack.

Rubin is disappointed, they are as disappointed as I am, because we played a good match, that should have been enough for victory“, – said the coach.
