The Negative Record Highlighting Barcelona's CRISIS in LaLiga
With their loss to Atlético de Madrid (1-2), Barcelona has matched their worst home losing streak, which dates back to November 1965. The Blaugranas have now lost three consecutive matches at the Camp Nou—to UD Las Palmas (1-2, November 30), Leganés (0-1, December 15), and now Atlético—conceding the LaLiga top spot to Diego Simeone's team.

This poor run of home defeats takes us back 59 years. In October 1965, Barcelona lost to Valencia (1-2), then to Atlético de Madrid (1-4), and Zaragoza (0-1). At that time, the team was managed by Roque Olsen.
