Barcelona set UCL record as top eight qualification hangs in balance
Barcelona's Champions League campaign faces a critical setback after a 1-0 defeat to Slavia Prague in their penultimate league phase match, putting their automatic qualification for the knockout stages at risk and potentially forcing them into a playoff.
The loss, marked by defensive errors, saw Slavia Prague's Vasil Kušej score, setting an unwanted new club record for Barcelona: it is the first time they have conceded goals in ten consecutive European matches, a streak dating back to last season's semi-final loss to Inter.
The central question emerging from the match is whether this consistently porous defense will ultimately prevent Barcelona from securing automatic qualification for the next round.
