Barcelona can do almost everything right against a low block and still spend long spells trying to break it down. Most teams that the Catalan club face in La Liga are keen to sit back and not give Barcelona any space to be at their most threatening.
Barça can still move the ball. They may still play sublime football through midfield. They can pass the ball to Lamine Yamal and ask him to solve the problem.
Even then, it is far from easy. Hansi Flick has built a side that knows how to control games and score goals for fun against their opponents.
