They are about to break the European record of Mourinho’s Chelsea and Simeone’s Atleti
“One against zero and Ter Stegen, from goalkeeper”. That is the most repeated popular mantra this season at FC Barcelona, who are on their way to winning the league title with some really impressive defensive numbers. The German has conceded just 9 goals so far in the regularity tournament and only two in Camp Nou. The data is a wild one. Against Atlético de Madrid, the German again kept a clean sheet and collected oneAnother day without belonging. Barça and Ter Stegen finished the 30th date of the competition with another clean sheet And There have already been 23 matches in the domestic league in which the blaugrana have kept the lock on their bow. The Blaugrana goalkeeper tied Bravo with the all-time record for clean sheets in a season (23).
Ter Stegen thus equals Claudio Bravo as goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in one season in the entire history of FC Barcelona. The Chilean goalkeeper achieved this statistic in the 2014/15 season, his first as a blaugrana. Now Ter Stegen, who was exactly Bravo’s partner, has notably surpassed his records. In fact, Ter Stegen and Barça are on track to break a historic record for the 21st century. NASTY With eight days to go before the League drops the curtain, everything points to the German eventually winning the “Zamora Trophy” for the least hit goal of the tournament.. But in addition, Barça aspires to be the European team with the fewest goals conceded in the 21st century.
The record for clean sheets in a single season by a European club so far this century is held by Chelsea. It was during the 2004/05 season with Petr Cech under the crossbar and with Jose Mourinho on the bench. The “blues” went 25 games without conceding a single goal, 24 of which were thanks to the Czech goalkeeper. In turn, Atlético de Madrid kept a clean sheet in 24 games in 2015/16, with Oblak under the crossbar. Now Ter Stegen and Barça aim to surpass this historic record of the 21st century. They have it at their fingertips and everything points to eventually defeating it.
