The Barça has an evident problem with the goal, fact that remained clear with the tie in front of Valencia, where the blaugranas forgave in excess. In fact, data recently presented by Sofascore evidencian the big problem in the conversion of goals of the team of Xavi, that has one of the worst registers of all Europe.
It is important to stand out that the problem of the Catalan team does not root in the creation of dangerous opportunities, but in the conversion of these in goals. According to Sofascore, the team blaugrana registers the best figure of dangerous occasions of goal between the 5 big leagues, with 64 actions. However, only it turns into goal 31% of these, situating it in the position 76 of the ranking European in this appearance. This data demoledor evidence the serious problem of the Barça with the goal.
The big reason of these disastrous figures is that the players of attack are not to 100%. In the League, for example, Lewandowski is the maximum goleador of the team with 8 so many. However, the brecha is considerable with Ferran Torres (3), Joao Félix (3), Raphinha (2) and Lamine (1), those who contribute of way limited to the tasks goleadoras, leaving practically only to the Pole in the responsibility to convert, even considering that Lewy also crosses a period of desacierto in front of the goal.
Xavi, the trainer with worse figures of goals by party
Besides, another of the data presented reveal that under the direction of Xavi, the Barcelona is experiencing the lowest figures of goals by party of the last 20 years, with a register of 1,86 goals by meeting. Previous trainers like Koeman (2,08) or Valverde (2,51) surpass significantly the statistics of the current trainer.
Against the Girona, remained patent that the team crosses difficulties in front of the arch, finishing in 31 occasions and converting only 2 goals. Lamentably, the problem persisted in front of Valencia, where the performance did not show improvements. In Mestalla, the team shot 16 times, attaining annotate in only an occasion, thanks to Joao Félix, the one who finished without goalkeeper. Of face to the party against the Almería, is imperative to recognise the existent problem with the goal and tackle it strategically to give back to the Barça the instinct goleador that so much needs.
