Barcelona confirmed their place in the Champions League Round of 16 following a 4-1 victory over FC Copenhagen, yet the result was overshadowed by a historic defensive slump.
Despite a dominant second half, a first-half goal from Copenhagen’s Dadason ensured Hansi Flick’s side reached a grim milestone.
The Catalans have now failed to keep a clean sheet in eleven consecutive matches in European competition.
This defensive drought, spanning two seasons, represents the club’s longest run without a shutout in Champions League history.
Barcelona has conceded 24 goals during this period, averaging over two per game.
Flick remains wary of this fragility heading into the knockout stages, noting that the team “looked toothless in the first half” before eventually finding their rhythm to secure the vital three points.
