There is none worse: Barcelona alone in a dark category in the Champions League

A persistent jinx

Barcelona have set an unwanted Champions League record. Desire Doue struck from outside the box in the 38th minute, firing Paris Saint-Germain in front and piling more misery on the Catalans' defence.

That goal extended Barcelona's run to at least one conceded in 18 consecutive matches, the French side the latest to breach a net that simply will not stay clean in Europe.

According to a statistic posted by the Mister Chip account on X, Barcelona now hold the worst defensive run of any Spanish club in Champions League history.

The Stats du Foot account echoed the point, confirming the Catalans have recorded their worst defensive run in the competition.

Villarreal sit just behind, having conceded in 14 straight continental games between 2008 and 2021.

Barcelona last kept a clean sheet in the Champions League on 9 April 2025, beating Borussia Dortmund four goals to nil.
