I can imagine with the other managers are saying in their pre-match talk when they play Barca.

Guys, don't complicate yourselves, play simple, at all times. When in doubt, just kick it out, for a corner. You know the drill, they will either cross it to nobody, or they will play it short. Much better than to risk losing the ball.

A mind-blowing one: Barca has been given 228 corner kicks this season and managed to score o n e. Missed 227.

Is it supposed to sound outrageous?
What's the 'efficiency' of the better sides at corner kicks. Pretty sure some teams wouldn't have even scored one.

Kind of is.

Didn't feel like doing the match, but found some sources online for the PL. 2010/2011 season, teams' average corners to goal ratio was 0,022. Meaning 45 corners needed to score a goal.

2016/2017 season: the worst team, as one could expect, was City. But still managed to score 4 out of 259 chances. That's cca 65 corners needed to score.

Opta claims 3,2% of corners lead to goals. Could be PL based, though.

If he can beat PSG then he deserves another season. Though i highly doubt.

PSG,even without Neymar,will qualify from our tie.People forgot ''maestro'' Koeman lost first place in the group by being beaten 3-0 at home by a very average Juventus team.Barring a miracle(which will mean for us being second in the league and at least in quarters of the CL),Koweman has no business to stay one more season.

The football has been much more entertaining under him compared to the past 3-4 seasons. And under his watch, there have been younger players coming up that could be the foundation of the next Barca generation.

Did well. It was only Alaves, but if we play like that and have executions like those Messi shots, we can turn the 0-2 vs Sevilla around.

What I said. We can play more inspired in camp nou. And what if we pick up a bit more form til then? Maybe Trincao will help us bail out if he continues like this.
