Barcelona's inability to secure wins against seemingly weaker teams highlights a potential crisis in form and confidence.
The team's young squad may be facing growing pains, as they struggle to adapt to the pressures of maintaining a title challenge in La Liga.
The upcoming fixtures will be pivotal for Barcelona to regain momentum and restore faith among fans and analysts alike.
If Barcelona continues to struggle in their next matches, they risk losing their top position in La Liga to Real Madrid.
The team's performance in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund could further impact their morale and league performance if they fail to secure a favorable result.
Increased scrutiny on Hansi Flick's management may arise if the team's form does not improve in the coming weeks.
Barcelona's recent performance in La Liga has raised concerns as they have only managed to secure 5 points from their last 15 available, leading to a significant drop in confidence within the team. The latest draw against Real Betis (2-2) has been described as part of a 'Black November' scenario that has extended into December, according to Spanish media.
Head coach Hansi Flick acknowledged the team's struggles but emphasized the need for continued learning and improvement, particularly in defense. He noted that despite controlling the game and creating chances, the team failed to convert these into victories, reflecting a worrying trend in their recent matches.
Barcelona's position at the top of La Liga is under threat, with Real Madrid closely trailing just two points behind. The upcoming matches against Leganes and Atletico Madrid will be crucial for Barcelona to maintain their lead as they head into the new year.
