Barcelona players disappointed (Reuters)
Reasons for concern in Catalonia. Barcelona recorded another embarrassing loss in the Champions League tonight (Wednesday), this time 3: 0 to Benfica and it is with 0 points after the first two rounds. Past figures show that only 20 teams out of 140 managed to qualify for the quarter-finals after starting with the home stage with two consecutive losses. The Catalans, who look very bad, will hope to be the 21st team to manage to qualify from the home stage.
If that was not enough, Barcelona also recorded a number of dubious “achievements” in the embarrassing loss. This is the second game in a row that Barça have not registered a single threat to the goal frame in the Champions League. This is only the second time that the club has recorded two consecutive losses in the opening of the Champions League, the last time this happened was in the 1972/73 season.
A beautiful personal operation with a ball in Ter Stegen’s net – and gave Barça the earliest second absorption in its history in the Champions League, already after 133 seconds from the start, when in first place is the Brazilian Antonio de Silva from Stuttgart who scored with a free kick in 2007 after 125 seconds.
By the way Nunez, the player recorded another and no less impressive achievement at the same time, when he scored the second fastest goal of Benfica ever in the Champions League, when only Nicholas Gaitan did it faster (in one second ) In the 2015/16 season against Glatsray. It was Nunez’s first appearance in the Champions League – and with his first touch he found the net.
Another record was also broken in Juventus’ game against Chelsea. Federico Keiza scored the old lady’s first goal just 10 seconds after the second half opened. The Italian’s hair is the Bianconeri’s fastest since the start of the second half of the Champions League.
To whom if not Robert Lewandowski. The excellent Pole has scored 70 goals in 60 games for the Bavarians in the Champions League, thus also scoring in all of his team’s last 15 home games in all competitions. In total he reached 13 goals in 9 games this season.
