Barça have had a brilliant start to the season with great performances in attack but even more impressive in defence, being the club with the fewest goals before the national team break

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The best clubs of the continent characterise for having good rhythm in attack and also a big defensive solidity, something of what did not enjoy the FC Barcelona in the first period of Xavi Hernández. The egarense took to the team in a moment very irregular and little by little was giving him form to the staff beside the sportive direction, for like this reach the plantel that has the club nowadays.

Although the main appeals of the 'new' Barça are his arms in attack, also is important to stand out the good moment that crosses the saga in League. Ronald Araújo, Eric García, Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde have starred one of the best start suspender belts in the history of the institution, receiving only a goal in the first six commitments of the tournament.

However, the name that carries all the praises by this attainment is Marc-André ter Stegen. In fact, the guardameta has been crucial so that the Barça add five commitments without fitting any goal, accumulating big cut across in front of the Real Sociedad when the meeting still was equalised and in front of the Ray Vallecano in the first day, one of them to the 91' minutes of the complement.

In the domestic championship there is not any team with a better record of goals fit to date, being Villarreal (2), Betis (4), Athletic (4), Osasuna (5), Valencia (5), Real Madrid (6) and Athletic (6) what follows to the Barcelona between the less goleados. Out of Spain would be Atalanta (3), Union Berlin (4) and Paris Saint-Germain (4) those who stand out by his fortress deep down inside the five big leagues.

Luis Enrique keeps the record

It would be necessary to trace back until the campaign 2014/15 to find a better register that the current, when Claudio Bravo was the goalkeeper title. In this year the Barcelona, of the hand of Luis Enrique, did not fit any goal in the first six parties of League, what marked the start of the last big season of the club when achieving the triplete with Champions, League and Glass of Rey.
