Barcelona Tops La Liga Teams in Comebacks
The Spanish newspaper "Marca" revealed that FC Barcelona continues to deliver an impressive performance this season in their ability to come back in matches, having achieved five comebacks in La Liga. Under the leadership of Hans Flick, the team has played 20 matches across La Liga and the Champions League, during which their opponents took the lead in nine games—a figure that reflects the team's struggles at the start of matches.
Marca mentioned that Atlético Madrid's last match was yet another example of Barcelona's poor starts to games this season, as conceding an early goal has become a recurring issue. Meanwhile, Atlético has only fallen behind after 18 minutes or more in La Liga all season. The newspaper also pointed out that Flick remains dissatisfied with his players' lack of focus and intensity, which is one of the main complaints he has expressed in the dressing room.
The report explained that Barcelona conceded the first goals in seven league matches against Levante, Oviedo, Real Sociedad, Alavés, Sevilla, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid. The team managed to win five of these matches, while losing the two games at Sánchez Pizjuán and the Bernabéu. Despite these negative starts, Barcelona's offensive capability to respond is evident, as they are the La Liga team with the most points earned after falling behind, with 15 points out of 37. They are followed by Real Sociedad and Celta, each with seven points.
The report confirmed that Barcelona's slow start in matches is one of the main obstacles, as it reveals a lack of defensive focus and increases the physical and mental effort required from the players during the game. Nevertheless, the team continues to secure most of its matches, maintaining its lead in the Spanish league so far.
