Barcelona’s poor run in away duels in the UEFA Champions League continued Tuesday night as the Catalans slumped 0-3 to Juventus.

Barcelona have conceded at least three goals in consecutive away games for the first time since October 2000.

In contrast, Juventus have remained unbeaten in their last 18 UEFA Champions League home games in which 11 duels were won while seven were drawn.

Their last home loss was a 0-2 in the game against Bayern Munich in April 2013.

The inability of Barcelona to score also meant the Juventus have not conceded a Champions League goal for 441 minutes. This is the longest current run in the competition.
