A first since 1953: shocking stats from Barça’s Champions League collapse! | OneFootball

Four goals at halftime, three conceded in 33 minutes, defensive errors galore… The statistics from the first leg of the Atlético–Barcelona semi-final (Copa del Rey) tell a painful reality for the Catalans.

A scenario the club hadn't experienced in 70 years, bringing back bad memories against Bayern, where Hansi Flick had already sown panic.

Here are the statistics that summarize the severity of this underperformance.

- Barça hadn't been trailing by four goals at halftime in an official match since… 1953. Back then, it was Real Madrid who inflicted it, with a 4-0 in La Liga.

- Three goals conceded in 33 minutes of play: a situation Barça hadn't experienced since the dark night against Bayern in the 2020 Champions League. Cruel irony, Hansi Flick was already on the other side.

- Summer signing Joan García has already made four errors leading to a goal in all competitions since the start of last season in La Liga. Only Paulo Gazzaniga has done worse during this period (six) in Spain, while David Soria has the same total as the Spanish goalkeeper.

The Blaugranas have 45 minutes to salvage their pride.
