Barcelona’s nightmare night against Chelsea saw their record-shattering goalscoring run come to a end as they failed to find the back of the net for the first time in 53 games.
Chelsea pummeled Barcelona 3–0 at Stamford Bridge to end the streak. After scoring in every single game for the past 11 months, Barcelona had fewer shots on target (2) than the Blues had disallowed goals (3).
Hansi Flick had built a prolific goalscoring machine. Barcelona’s 53-game run started back on Dec. 21, 2024, when they lost 2–1 to Atlético Madrid. The team’s 1–0 defeat to Leganés just six days prior was the last time Flick’s side failed to score until their trip to west London.
Barcelona’s previous longest goalscoring streak came between Nov. 1942 and Feb. 1944, when Juan José Nogués’s Barça scored in 44 consecutive games. Flick’s Barcelona have now padded their record-setting benchmark by an extra nine games.
The Catalans managed 151 goals over the 53-game streak, a tremendous attacking output that helped them conquer three major trophies in 2024–25.
