Eleven games, eleven wins: FC Barcelona continued their remarkable run in the new year thanks to a work win and kept their eyes on the championship in the Primera Division.

The Catalans barely won the away game at FC Villarreal 1-0 (1-0) on Sunday and have not lost in 16 competitive games. In 2023, there were only victories across all competitions.

Coach Xavi’s team suffered their last defeat on October 26 against FC Bayern Munich in the group stage of the Champions League (0:3).

On Sunday evening, Pedri (18th) provided the goal for the guests, who are now eleven points ahead of record champions Real Madrid, on assist from ex-Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski. Los Blancos have played one game less.
