Iñigo’s only defeat in La Liga

Iñigo Martínez‘s only defeat with the Blaugrana in LaLiga came on 28 October last year, against Real Madrid in the Clásico played at Montjuïc (1-2). In the other four defeats of the team then managed by Xavi Hernández, the centre-back did not play: due to injury against Girona (2-4) and Villarreal (3-5) at home and by technical decision away to Real Madrid (3-2) and Girona (4-2).
