Bradley Barcola is still chasing the moment that will reignite his scoring touch.
The forward, once celebrated for his decisive strikes, has now gone nine straight matches without finding the net for club or country.
Substituted in the 67th minute against Tottenham, Barcola’s last goals came in the Coupe de France final and in a 3-0 league win over Stade de Reims. Since then, he has drawn blanks against Inter Milan, Spain with Les Bleus, Botafogo, Seattle Sounders, Inter Miami, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Tottenham.
Bradley Barcola also sat out the opening FIFA Club World Cup match against Atletico Madrid, but his return to action has yet to produce the breakthrough he craves.
Despite the dry spell, Barcola continues to contribute with assists and off-the-ball work, showing a willingness to create for others. Still, patience is wearing thin among some fans who remember the decisive edge he once brought.
