Barcelona off to their worst Champions League start

The current edition of the Champions League is not going well for Barcelona at all. Koeman's men have lost their first two games against Bayern and Benfica and by the same result. 

Barca had not started a Champions League campaign as badly since the 1997-98 season, as 'Mundo Deportivo' recalls. That was when they lost 3-2 to Newcastle and then drew 2-2 with PSV.

The Catalans had never started a campaign so badly. In fact, they had not even scored. In recent seasons, they had only not started with two victories in their first two games in the 2019-20 season.

In the 21st century, Barcelona had been one of the best clubs in the Champions League. They have begun 13 of the last 24 editions with victories and Barca's current form does not give much reason for optimism.
