Although to many can surprise them, the true is that Jeremy Mathieu was the season happened a talisman for the FC Barcelona. The culés did not lose any party with him on the terrain of game from October of 2015, although this campaign no longer can say the same of the good series of the experienced French defender.
Mathieu initiated this season 2016-17 playing 26 minutes in the victory 0-2 in Seville of the gone of the Supercopa of Spain, but in his second official party, arrived the first bad news when falling the FC Barcelona by 1-2 against the Alavés in League, playing Mathieu the ninety minutes, marking a goal and being about to annotate another to the exit of a corner.
Jeremy Mathieu acted again in Gijón in front of the Sporting (0-5), but against the Celtic of Vigo did not have the same luck in his performance, since it marked a goal in own door in the defeat by 4-3 in Balaídos.
Of an extraordinary series of parties without losing with Mathieu, in this sense, the Barça already has fallen defeated this course in two occasions with the presence of the defender Frenchman on the terrain of game.
From 17 October 2015, the Barcelona had achieved to keep an excelsa series of 27 meetings without losing in parties contested by Mathieu, with a balance of 23 victories and 4 ties. Now, the flame of the success seems to have him turned off -for the moment- to the French.
