FC Barcelona was defeated in the Clásico against Real Madrid, but Koeman’s team not only lost three points but also increased the bad streak that has followed the Catalans since the Dutchman took over the bench last season.
Since then, Barça has faced the greats in eleven games between the League and the Champions League and the balance is very negative for Koeman’s. Barcelona has only been able to win one game, it was in the group stage of the 2020/2021 Champions League against Juventus in Turin, 0-2 at Juventus Stadium, although later that victory would not serve them to be first in the groups .
Then only draws and defeats have come. Against Real Madrid they have met three times and all three have ended with a Madrid victory (1-3, 2-1 and 1-2). Against Atlético de Madrid they lost 1-0 at Wanda, drew 0-0 at Camp Nou and this season the rojiblancos also won the first round (2-0).
In Champions his luck has not been better. As we say, in the group stage they beat Juventus in Turin but in the match at Camp Nou the Italians took revenge and won 3-0 to be first in the group.
In the round of 16, Barcelona faced PSG and the tie was already practically sentenced in the first leg: 1-4 with an exhibition by Mbappé and with Leo Messi on the field. In the Park of the Princes they drew 1-1 a game that did not have much history.
And this season it was Bayern who won 0-3 at the Camp Nou on the first day of the group stage, returning Barça to its harsh reality.
In total 11 games in which he has added only one victory, two draws and eight defeats, with 7 goals in favor and 19 against, a very poor background for a team like Barcelona that has not been able to stand up to any of those rivals and at no time did he convey the feeling of being able to win the game.
The next game against a great will be against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on December 8 in the match corresponding to the sixth day of the group stage of the Champions League. We will see if by then Koeman manages to do a facelift for the team or if on the contrary Barça will add one more failure.
