0-3 defeat to Chelsea, Barcelona s record of scoring in 53 consecutive games ended

In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona defeated Chelsea 0-3, almost destroying the hope of directly advancing to the Champions League knockout rounds, and may force the team into a cruel play-off round. In addition, Barcelona's record of scoring in 53 consecutive games ended.

The last time Barcelona failed to score a goal dates back to December 16 last year, when they lost 0-1 at home to Leganes in the 17th round of La Liga. After nearly a year, Barcelona has yet another goalless draw. This time it was restricted by objective conditions: Araujo was sent off for two yellow cards, and Barcelona had to fight with one less player for nearly 55 minutes.

Barcelona's consecutive scoring record in the domestic league continues. The current goal is to tie the record of 37 goals set in 2019 during Valverde's coaching period. Therefore, if Barcelona wants to break the existing record, they must score in all subsequent games against Alaves, Atletico Madrid, Betis, Osasuna and Villarreal.
