FC Barcelona went back to win and went back to concede 0 goals. It seems that this season this is yet another requirement to achieve victory. The azulgranas managed to keep their goal to zero in 17 of their 22 games. This weekend they had “some more” complications. Ter Stegen pulled out a saving hand at a shot from Chris Ramos and the Choco Lozano he finished off the stick.
But even so, the Blaugranas added another clean sheet this season. Far from the nine of Atletico Madrid and eight of the Madrid, Mallorca or Athletic. In international leagues, Newcastle leads the clean sheets in the Premier with 12, Juventus is close with 15 in Serie A or Freiburg in the Bundesliga with another 9.
Against Cadiz, FC Barcelona broke a new record. They managed to overcome 16 clean sheets in the first 22 games played by Deportivo de la Coruña in 93/94, with Paco Liano as a goalkeeper and with Arsenio Iglesias on the bench.
