This is Barcelona's worst start in 29 years
They have taken 11 points from the first eight games of the season
Barcelona are undergoing a renewal of their project but without the help of good results to keep it ticking, something that's hard to take at a club used to winning and fighting for titles.
The reality is that Ronald Koeman's side is having their worst start to a season for 29 years, since the 91-92 campaign. A cold and worrying statistic.
Barcelona have taken 11 points from their eight games and are 10th in the league. They have beaten Villarreal, Celta and Betis, drawing with Alaves and Sevilla, and suffered three defeats - Madrid, Getafe and Atletico.

Not good enough
These are not results befitting a team that wants to fight for the title, with Leo Messi in it. He is here after trying to leave this summer but not bringing the play or goals we know him for. Leaders Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid are on 20 points each.
