Impenetrable wall: Barça's defensive level, the road to history

Although it expected a FC Barcelona much better that the one of the past season, even that in the two last, the reality is that the new team of Xavi has surpassed several expectations. One of them, perhaps the most important, has been the change in the defensive order of the team and the level with which the culés has known to administer this new fortress along this course.

With the half of the season increasingly near, the Barcelona technician has been able to show that his staff is done to win and to compete with any one. The reality is that the signings of Koundé and Christensen have resulted keys, as well as the irruption in the first team of Balde. Araújo Has gone consolidating increasingly and Ter Stegen has gone back to his best version.

With all this showed, and having received 1 goal or less in 18 of his 25 parties of this season in all the official competitions, the Barça has begun this 2023 giving a hit on the table. Leader in League, champion of the Supercopa and advancing in the Glass, the culés have only six so many against in the tournament suspender belt, a figure that does not exist in another of the big European leagues.

There is not the one who equate

The nearest rival of the Barça was being the Juventus, with seven goals received after seventeen days, but was goleado by the Naples in the last day and now adds 12 so many against. In the Premier League, a much more offensive and competitive league certainly, the leader Arsenal has fit fourteen so many after 18 parties, whereas the Newcastle has goals received and is the less beaten up to now in the competition.

In the little competed Bundesliga, the Bayern has received thirteen so many especially thanks to his irregular beginning of season, whereas in Tie it 1 the PSG adds these same 13 goals against, although with three more contested parties until the past weekend. Going out already of the 'top five', The Benfica has 12 so many received in 16 days in Portugal and in Low Countries the team less goleado is the Twente with nine so many in 16 parties played.

The figure of the Barça has the big advantage that in the best references to this height of LaLiga, in the seasons 17-18 and 14-15, in both the Barça was the champion. The pending point for the culés up to now been the attack, although his numbers neither have been negative, the reality is that it has remained to owe in some meetings and was something that finished costing the elimination in the Champions League, for example.
