Barcelona Tops Europe's Unlucky Crossbar List

Barcelona's misfortunes in recent weeks have coincided with a dip in form and missed scoring opportunities. Despite a strong start under Hans-Dieter Flick, recent games have seen the team struggle to maintain momentum in La Liga.

Interestingly, Barcelona has struck the crossbar 18 times this season, more than any other team in Europe's top five leagues. This ties them with Manchester City, who have faced similar struggles and misfortunes lately.

Barcelona's offensive power remains undeniable, with 50 La Liga goals scored so far. However, greater accuracy might have placed them in a more comfortable position atop the table.
