The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that Barcelona has matched the worst negative streak for a Spanish team in the UEFA Champions League, having conceded at least one goal in 14 consecutive matches in the competition.

The last match in which the team kept a clean sheet was on April 9, 2025, when they defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at the Montjuïc Stadium.

Despite winning the second leg 3-1, a negative streak began that the team has not been able to break so far, as they conceded 28 goals in 14 European matches, while scoring 37 goals during the same period, reflecting the defensive gap against major teams in the competition.

The current 2025/2026 edition of the UEFA Champions League has seen tough results for the Catalan team, conceding goals from teams like Olympiacos 6-1, Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1, Slavia Prague 4-2, and Copenhagen 4-1, in addition to heavy results such as a 3-3 draw against Brugge and defeats against Paris Saint-Germain 2-1, Chelsea 3-2, and Atlético Madrid 2-0 at the Spotify Camp Nou.

The Spanish club Villarreal also shares this negative record, having conceded goals in 14 consecutive matches between December 10, 2008, and October 20, 2021, although they were not at the same level as Barcelona in the Champions League. This streak for the Yellow Submarine lasted about three years, making it a point of comparison for the Catalan team.

Barcelona hopes to break this negative record and keep a clean sheet in the second leg of the quarter-finals scheduled for next Tuesday at 9 PM Cairo time at the Metropolitano Stadium to enhance their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals.
