Barça’s season is impressive in many areas. And if there’s one in particular the Catalans excel at, it’s defensively.
By conceding only 7 goals in 21 days, Xavi’s men have done better than any team in the 21st century. Even better, they managed 16 clean sheets during this period.
11 of Barça’s 18 wins have come 1-0, which hasn’t happened since the 96/97 season.
Record de clean sheets
FC Barcelona is the first team to achieve 16 clean sheets in the first 21 days of the 21st century. You have to go back to the 1993/94 season to find such a performance. At the time, it was Deportivo La Coruña who succeeded (16/21 too).
The Catalans have conceded once morest Real Madrid (3), Espanyol (1), Real Sociedad (1), Betis (1) and Osasuna (1).
The Blaugrana have scored 43 goals this season in 18 wins, 2 draws and one loss.
Deportivo La Coruña ended the season with 18 goals conceded and 26 clean sheets. But it was Barça who were crowned champions on special goal difference.
