The history of “Barcelona” is full of both glorious victories and equally painful fiascos. Although even today the team occasionally loses defeatedly, it is difficult to imagine the scores with which the club left the field in the last century. You can follow all the matches of “Catalans” and be aware of the latest results on the website of 1×Bet. The largest score, with which the “Blue-granates” lost, happened in 1931. At that time, Barcelona lost to Atletico with a score of 12:1, which is the most humiliating result for the team in its history.
Interestingly, the early forties of the 20th century is the most difficult stage for the “Catalans”. In 1940, the club lost to “Sevilla” 11:1. After 3 years, there was a similar defeat from the eternal rival - Real Madrid. The matches were held in the national championship and the King's Cup, respectively.
The middle of the forties also can not be called successful for “Barcelona”. Over a period of several years, the club experienced several defeats, including:
Although the club had such matches in the 1944/1945 season, it still managed to win the championship gold medals, surpassing “Real Madrid”. This proves that while individual defeats can be quite painful, the impact is not as critical over the long distance.
The beginning of the XXI century became very successful for the “Catalans”. The team made the treble 2 times, won all sorts of trophies several times. However, even such a period did not do without crushing defeats. In 2020, “Barcelona” faced “Bayern” in the ¼ finals of the Champions League. “Munich” scored 8 goals in the opponent's goal, “Catalans” were able to respond with only 2. Such stars as Messi and Suarez still played in that lineup. This match marked a crisis in the Spanish game.
If you analyze the statistics of all major defeats of the “Catalans”, you can trace a pattern. Most of the defeats came in 1940-1950, when Spain faced political instability. This time was difficult not only for soccer, but also for society as a whole, which could not help but affect sports results.
After each major defeat, the club found the strength to fight further. History shows that the greatness of the team is determined far not by the absence of bad matches, but by the ability to recover from them.
The Catalan club has repeatedly shown its resilience to failure, which allowed it to join the ranks of the most successful soccer teams in the world.
Modern soccer is undoubtedly different from what teams played in the middle of the last century. Major defeats are less common. Even small teams have learned to defend better. But the history of the “Barcelona” fiasco reminds us that unexpected results can always happen in sports. And even the greatest teams go through difficult periods.
