Barcelona’s early-match struggles continue as they concede within the opening minute against Athletic Club in their Copa del Rey quarter-final clash.

Barcelona’s Defensive Woes

Barcelona’s defense has been shaky throughout the season, and this match was no exception. Conceding a goal within 36 seconds is a clear indication of their defensive vulnerability, and it is a trend that has repeated itself in previous matches as well.

Athletic Club’s Early Lead

Athletic Club took advantage of Barcelona’s poor play and capitalized on the opportunity to take an early lead. Gorka Guruzeta’s goal has given the hosts a strong foothold in the match, and they will look to build on it as they aim to maintain their unbeaten streak at home.

Barcelona’s Need for a Response

With their early-match struggles persisting, Barcelona will need to mount a big response to overcome this setback. The pressure is on the Catalan giants to turn the tide and find a way back into the game, especially considering Athletic Club’s formidable home record.
