They conceded in the return leg of that tie and shipped six goals across the two semifinal legs against Inter.<\/p>\n<p>This season, the defensive fragility has been quite consistent. Bar\u00e7a have conceded against every opponent they have faced: Newcastle, PSG, Olympiacos, Club Brugge, Chelsea, Eintracht Frankfurt, Slavia Prague, and now Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<p>Over these 11 matches, Barcelona has conceded a total of 24 goals, averaging 2.18 per game. In the current league stage, only Atletico Madrid (15) has conceded more than Bar\u00e7a\u2019s 14 among the top 16 teams.<\/p>\n<p>Flick will be aware that Barcelona cannot afford such a porous defence during the knockout rounds, as the club look to avoid the heartbreak of last season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona secured a place in the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League after a 4-1 win&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[418,49042,4893,132942,106171,403,99,28231],"class_list":["post-437898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-fc-copenhagen","tag-hansi-flick","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-uefa-champions-league"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
