4 times wearing hats and 4 times losing, is it no good to "wear hats" against Barcelona?

Step a hat-trick at Mount Montsch, Mbappe became Real Madrid's most goals in his debut season. However, just like the World Cup final three years ago, Mbappe once again felt the pain of "it's hard to save the Lord".

Who wears the hat, who suffers

Before Mbappe shines on Mount Montec, the other three players who scored hat tricks against Barcelona this season also swallowed the bitter fruit of their defeat.

On January 21, 2025, in the Champions League quarter-finals, Greek striker Pavlidiz scored a hat-trick, and Benfica lost to Barcelona 4-5 at home. On April 15, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Gilasi scored a hat-trick. Dortmund defeated Barcelona 3-1 at home, but Dortmund was eliminated 3-5 because of the total score. On April 19, in the 32nd round of La Liga, Iglesias scored a hat-trick, and Celta lost to Barcelona 3-4 away.

Firepower suppression, scoring one more goal

In the 57 games that have ended this season, Barcelona scored 167 goals, spending 3 goals per game, which can completely offset the hat trick played by the opponent's forward. Real Madrid, Benfica, Celta and Dortmund all have the characteristics of being strong in offense and weak in defense. If they want to tilt resources to the frontcourt, it will be difficult for the defense line to complete a zero-block.

The front court Trident is comparable to MSN, and it is not a big problem to score one more goal than the opponent.

It is worth mentioning that all four games appeared in 2025 (second half of the season). As more and more teams discovered the secret of Barcelona's high-level defense, Frick did not choose to retreat. The forward line composed of Yamal, Rafinia and Lewandowski withstood the pressure and achieved the goal of scoring one more goal than the opponent. In these four games, Barcelona scored 14 goals, and Rafinia scored twice in three of them. It was not difficult for them to control the "mutual striking game".
