Equals the record for clean sheets in a season, held by Claudio Bravo (23 in the 2014-15 academic year)
In 30 days he has only conceded 9 goals: the German will win his first Zamora with figures never seen before in the history of the League
The days go by and Marc André ter Stegen is pleased to repeat the same gesture: the referee blows the whistle for the end and the Barça goalkeeper slowly removes his gloves and smiles, with the satisfaction of having fulfilled his duty, of having signed another goal. to zero in the League. There are already 23: it is not just any figure because it was the record established by a Barça goalkeeper in the League championship. Claudio Bravo had it, who in the 2014-15 season managed to keep his goal to zero in 23 games.
Ter Stegen has matched it, with the nuance that there are still eight days to play. In the 2014-15 season, Barça won the treble, with Luis Enrique as coach: League, Cup and Champions.
Ter Stegen is walking steadily towards his first Zamora trophy, which distinguishes the goalkeeper with the least goals scored in the championship (although to win it, you have to play a minimum of 28 games, a figure that the German has already achieved): in his case, there are only nine the goals conceded, in the 30 days played.
Is he best defensive record of a team at this stage of the competition in the entire history of the Leaguesurpassing Atlético de Madrid from the 2015-16 and 2017-18 seasons, in which they had conceded a total of 14 goals in the first 30 games.
Córdoba, Pontevedra and Barça
Especially solid at home, Barça de Ter Stegen and his defenses managed to match yesterday another very old record in the league championship. Until yesterday, only two teams had conceded so few goals in their first fifteen home games, Córdoba in the 1964-65 season and Pontevedra in the 1968-69 season. Like Barça, they only conceded two goals in their first 15 league games at home.
