The season 2022-23, especially in the start of his second half, has brought achieve the one who up to now has been the best version of the project of Xavi Hernández since it assumed the technical direction of the FC Barcelona. The game of the team has stood out by a defensive solidity, so much by part of his defenders as in the case of Marc-André Ter Stegen, the one who has been a guarantee in the Barcelona goal.
In what it goes of the course, the German already accumulates 18 parties without fitting so many rivals and his global register in the tournament is of eight targets fit, the lowest of all the teams of LaLiga, what outlines him like clear applicant to the Zamora, that finally would obtain after his arrival to the Barcelona team in the season 2014/15. Now, it continues in search of the big aim of the culés in the season: the title suspender belt.
Seven of the eight opportunities in which the cancerbero had to look for the balloon at the bottom of the networks have taken place in parties like visitor, whereas the only goal that has received in the feudo Barcelona during the current course was marked from the eleven metres. The last goal of played against the Barça home produced on 22 May 2022 during a visit of the Villarreal to the Camp Nou, in which Moi Gómez was the attendant to convert the so much.
In such sense, already adds 40 weeks without receiving goals of played like venue in parties of LaLiga, what speaks very well of his effectiveness under the three sticks, as well as of the difficult that is for the rivals annotate in the Spotify Camp Nou with the balloon at stake. Of equal way, earns merit the big defensive work exerted by figures like Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen or Ronald Araújo.
Defensive solidity only in Spain?
More than 287 days imbatido by this road leave very in high the defensive work of the culés. Nevertheless, it calls the attention that this solidity only do present in domestic competitions and no in Europe. In the phase of groups of the Champions League, the Barcelona fit a total of 12 targets, whereas in the eliminatory in front of the Manchester United in the playoffs of the Europe League received a total of four so many.
