Barcelona's First-Half Crisis in Matches
Tuesday 27-01-2026
Under the leadership of Hans Flick, Barcelona is showing clear superiority in the second half of matches, while facing difficulties in the first half, which has affected their results and goal-scoring and conceding rates.

The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that the Catalan team scores fewer goals in the first half and concedes about three times as many goals compared to the second half, indicating a need to improve focus and discipline from the start.

The report confirmed that Flick's instructions and halftime changes often give the team the ability to come back in the score, as was clearly seen in the match against Real Oviedo, where all of Barcelona's goals came in the second half after a difficult start against the intense pressure from the opposing team.

The newspaper explained that the hypothetical results of relying only on the first 45 minutes place Barcelona in fifth position behind Osasuna, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal, with 36 points from ten wins, six draws, and five losses, scoring 25 goals and conceding 16.

In the second half, Barcelona leads the standings with 50 points, after 16 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, scoring 32 goals and conceding only 6, which demonstrates their significant superiority after the break compared to their competitors.

The data indicates that Flick's team needs to work on improving their performance in the first half to achieve continuity and ensure control over the entire match, while capitalizing on their clear superiority after the 45th minute. This would enhance their chances of competing in European and local championships this season.
