There is a lot of trouble going on in Barcelona. Over the course of their most recent three matches, the team has not been victorious in any of its contests, with their most recent clash concluding in a 1-1 draw with Valencia.
Despite the fact that Real Madrid and Girona have seen a collapse that has never been seen before, Barcelona is currently eliminated from the competition for the league title.
It goes without saying that Barcelona’s bad performance has resulted in significant criticism directed toward Xavi Hernandez, and the coach is now under pressure to continue the position he now has.
Some people have pointed the criticism at Barcelona’s very ineffective offense, while others have pointed the finger at the club’s fragile defensive line as the cause of the club’s bad form. The injuries that Barcelona has had to deal with this season have been brought to the attention of several members of the club.
Nevertheless, there is one piece of information that has stood out the most, in the midst of the sporting turmoil that Barcelona has been under this season.
The bad communication rate that Barcelona has received this season
A few of the most talented strikers in Spanish football are currently playing for Barcelona. These players include Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Joao Felix.
Nevertheless, the club has given the impression of being exceptionally ineffective in front of the goal this season. While there are those who have placed the finger at the club’s lack of creative firepower, the reality is that Barcelona has produced a good deal of opportunities throughout the course of this season.
But when it comes to scoring goals, the Catalans have simply not been able to capitalize on the opportunities that have been presented to them.
In order to put things into perspective, Girona, the team that has surprised everyone in La Liga, has emerged as the most clinical team in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
Over the course of this season, Michel’s team has had 215 shots on goal and has scored 38 goals. This represents a conversion rate of 17.67%, which is the highest among the top five Premier Leagues in Europe.
The conversation rate for Bayern Munich is 16.78%, while the conversation rate for Paris Saint-Germain is 16.10%. These two teams are in second and third place accordingly.
In spite of the fact that they lost their star player Karim Benzema in the summer, Real Madrid, who are considered to be their fiercest rivals, have a conversion rate of 12.8%, which places them 17th among the top five leagues in Europe.
Taking this into consideration, Barcelona is placed 45th in all of Europe. Over the course of this season, they have had 273 shots on goal, which is more than Girona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and even Paris Saint-Germain have had.
When it comes to goals, however, Barcelona has only managed to find the back of the net 29 times on the field. This results in a conversion rate of only 10.6%, which is lower than the rates achieved by clubs such as Eintracht Frankfurt, VfB Stuttgart, and AS Roma.
Robert Lewandowski has managed to score eight goals for Barcelona so far this season, making him the team’s leading goalscorer. The Polish international, on the other hand, is having a terrible season by his current standards. Because he has failed to capitalize on a number of scoring opportunities week after week, his followers have voiced their disapproval of his performance.
To make it even more difficult, Barcelona has not provided Lewandowski with the appropriate support. Additionally, the departure of Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati during the summer, in addition to the injuries sustained by Gavi and Pedri previously, does not help the situation.
In a fortunate turn of events, Barcelona will have the opportunity to anticipate the arrival of Vitor Roque, who is scheduled to join the club during the transfer window that occurs in January.
Even though the club appears to have more ambitious ambitions for him, the Brazilian international will provide the Barcelona frontline with a much-needed boost that will be much appreciated.
