Barca has subpar defence in comparison to their usual standard yes; but their Midfield still does enough work in both directions to make it VERY difficult to actually capitalize on an opening.
Case in point they have only conceded 17 goals from 24 games in their league. [The only UEFA teams that have conceded less are Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG]. And they have insane pace for counterattacks so if you slip up in your ball-out offense you will be punished
