In round 20 of La Liga, Barcelona was held to a 1-1 draw by Getafe. With this result, Hansi Flick and his team are ranked 3rd on the rankings. They are 7 points behind the top team Real Madrid, while Atletico Madrid also took the 2nd place.
In the last 8 matches in La Liga, the Camp Nou team has only won 6/24 maximum points. This is their worst performance in the domestic league after more than 50 years.
But there is a paradox, that Barcelona is still playing very well in other arenas. In the Champions League, they ranked 2nd on the rankings and have already booked a ticket to the next round. In the King's Cup arena, Blaugrana also easily advanced to the Quarterfinals. Most recently, Barcelona destroyed Real Madrid 5-2 to win the Spanish Super Cup.
After the draw with Getafe, coach Hansi Flick admitted that his players are wasting too many chances when playing in the domestic league. Mundo Deportivo revealed that Barcelona are missing the most scoring opportunities in La Liga, with 55 in 20 matches. Meanwhile, the two rivals for the championship, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, have only missed 36 chances in 20 matches.
Lewandowski arguably bears the greatest responsibility for Barcelona's decline. He has 16 goals and is leading the La Liga scoring charts, but in reality the Polish star has been inconsistent in recent weeks. In his last nine games, Lewandowski has scored just two goals.
