#4 More away day misery for Barcelona

CA Osasuna v FC Barcelona - La Liga

Barcelona have gone four years without lifting the Champions League trophy, and a large reason for this has been their atrocious away form in the competition.

Each of their last three eliminations in the Champions League have come after embarrassing scorelines away from home; 3-0 to Juventus in 2017, 3-0 to AS Roma in 2018 and 4-0 to Liverpool at the semi-final stage just last season.

Since their treble win in 2015, the Blaugrana have won just eight out of their 21 away Champions League fixtures and that grim figure looks even more damning when you consider that three of those wins came in games against Celtic, Bate Borisov and PSV who are not exactly the biggest names on the continent.

Of their nine away fixtures in the knockout rounds of the same timeframe, Barcelona have won just two - against a disheveled Arsenal side in 2016 and another when they defeated Manchester United last season.

It was yet another poor away display against quality opposition in the Champions League for Barcelona and the Catalans can count themselves lucky to have left Signal Iduna Park with anything.

Barcelona are desperate to get their hands on the Champions League trophy again, but if they are to do so, they would have to show a marked improvement in their away performance on the continent.
