Catastrophic away form the biggest barrier to Barcelona's European ambitions by Rich9908
BARCELONA - Barcelona’s shock 4-0 defeat by Liverpool which sent them out of the Champions League laid bare the Catalan side’s horrendous away record which continues to hold them back in Europe’s elite competition, which they want to win above anything else.
But the result at Anfield was merely the latest example of a worrying trend for the Catalans in Europe whenever they venture away from the Nou Camp, where they are unbeaten in their last 32 Champions League games. “The worst thing is that this has happened again, that we have taken the lead but gone out in the same way,” Valverde said.
Luis Enrique oversaw a resounding 3-0 defeat by Juventus in a quarter-final first leg which led to their exit in 2017, while they were thrashed 4-0 at Paris St Germain in the last 16, even though they still progressed with a 6-1 win in the second leg.
