4 reasons behind Barcelona's collapse this season

#1 Poor away performances

Poor performances away from home cost the Catalans dearly during the term

Barcelona's performances away from home should raise a lot of concerns. The Catalans remain a huge force at the Nou Camp, but they are totally different when they find themselves outside the stadium.

This was quite evident in the Champions League as Ernesto Valvarde's men could only settle for an embarrassing goalless draw against Olympique Lyon in France, and were aided by an own-goal to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, before they were finally humiliated by Liverpool at Anfield.

This problem has been affecting the club for some seasons now, with memories of the Roma capitulation still fresh in memory. If they are to return to the summit of European football, Barca must do something about their performances away from home, because their idea of killing off games at home isn't producing positive outcomes.
