Today, Barcelona suffered a surprising 0-1 away loss to Real Sociedad, and the match highlighted a remarkable statistic.
Details: Barcelona failed to register a single shot on target throughout the game—a highly uncharacteristic stat for the Blaugrana.
According to SofaScore, this is the first time in the last ten seasons that Barcelona has been unable to land a shot on target in a La Liga match. Prior to this, they had managed at least one shot on target in 355 consecutive league matches.
This match also marked the first time under Hansi Flick’s leadership that Barcelona went scoreless.
It's worth noting that Barcelona did manage to score in the 13th minute, but the goal was controversially disallowed due to a VAR error.
Reminder: Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal missed this match against Real Sociedad due to injury.
