22 games without a goal: Barcelona attacking midfielder’s drought continues under Flick

22 games without a goal: Barcelona attacking midfielder’s drought continues under Flick Barcelona have won their first nine games of the 2026/27 season, but Dani Olmo is still waiting for a personal milestone to match the team’s impressive start.  Notably, the attacking midfielder has gone 22 appearances without scoring for Barça , with his last goal coming against Sevilla on 15 March. Olmo has continued to contribute in other areas, registering three assists this season while helping create chances and open spaces for his teammates.  However, the wait for another goal is becoming a notable subplot in Hansi Flick’s otherwise prolific Barcelona attack . The encouraging sign for Flick is that his team are not dependent on one scorer.  Raphinha has been directly involved in 17 goals, with 14 goals and three assists, while Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Gabriel Jesus and Karim Adeyemi have also contributed to Barcelona’s attacking output.

His last Barcelona goal came on 15 March against Sevilla, when he scored the third goal in a 5-2 victory. Since then, unfortunately, he has featured in 22 matches without finding the net. Interestingly, rather than allowing the drought to define his performances, Olmo has continued to contribute through his vision, ball recoveries and ability to find teammates in space, and his three assists this season reflect that influence. Olmo’s shooting numbers offer hope The midfielder came close to ending his wait against Getafe last Saturday . He attempted two shots on target, with David Soria producing a spectacular save to deny him. Across the campaign, Olmo has attempted 12 shots, including five in Barcelona’s Champions League match against Feyenoord.  Dani Olmo was denied by David Soria vs Getafe.

Champions League gives Olmo another chance to score Barcelona’s next Champions League fixture against Galatasaray offers Olmo an opportunity to end the drought.  Notably, his place in the starting XI is not guaranteed after starting against Getafe, with Fermin Lopez another option for Flick in the attacking midfield role. However, even a substitute appearance could give Olmo the chance he needs.  Barcelona’s collective scoring strength means the team can continue winning without relying on him to find the net, but a goal would provide a welcome personal boost for a player who has already shown he can deliver regularly from midfield.
