Íñigo Martínez has gone 23 consecutive games without losing in LaLiga

Iñigo Martínez is FC Barcelona's 'lucky charm' in LaLiga. With the thrashing of Alavés, the centre-back has gone 23 games as a Barça player without a defeat, recording 20 wins and 3 draws. This season, the Basque has participated in 8 of the 9 games played, starting in all of them and winning each of the matches. In his only substitution, Hansi Flick's team fell to Osasuna (4-2), in what was their first league defeat of the season.

Martínez's run began in November 2023, when Barça visited Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena (0-1). Since then, the defender has played 15 games in 23/24, 11 as a starter (9 wins and 2 draws) and 4 as a substitute (3 wins and 1 draw). In total, he has 20 wins and three draws (1-1 in Vallecas, 3-3 against Granada at home and 0-0 at San Mamés against Athletic).

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).
