It could say that the statistics is of the side of the FC Barcelona in what respecta the clashes against the Sporting of Gijón, so much regarding the meetings contested in the Camp Nou as in The Molinón, the field of professional football more ancient of the Spanish football.
The Barça chains 22 years without peder in the stadium of the Asturian group, although it also is true that the Sporting has been a lot of years in Second Division and has not confronted each season during the course of these 22 years to the FC Barcelona in the Spanish League.
The case is that the last time that the Sporting won to the FC Barcelona in The Molinón was on 4 September 1994, when the blaugrana fell defeated by fault of the goals of Lediakhov and Pier (2-1).
Since, the FC Barcelona has visited nine times The Molinón, obtaining six triumphs and three ties. The past campaign the Barça imposed by 1-3 in The Molinón thanks to a "doublet" of Leo Messi and another goal of Luis Suárez, although it was the Sporting the one who began marking.
Curiously, the course in that the Sporting won to the Barça in The Molinón was the one of the debut of Abelardo -now trainer of the team and also ex player of the Barça- in League, and in this same season the Sporting finish descending to Second Division to remain in said category eight years.
The past campaign the Asturians saved in the last day of the descent, and in the current already accumulate two consecutive defeats against Athletic and Celtic of Vigo out of house, although the true is that the calendar of League is not them favouring lately.
