The Barça team has not lost a league match after a break since November 2020
Link nine consecutive victories, with 21 goals for and three against
Barça is no longer affected by national team breaks. The FIFA virus does not attack the Barcelona team. At least in terms of results. After yesterday’s victory against Athletic thanks to a solitary goal from Marc Guiu, Barça has won the last nine League games it has played after a national team break, according to data from MisterChip.
The data is devastating. Nine games played, nine wins, with 21 goals for and only three against. The last Barça defeat after a national team break dates back to November 21, 2020. Ronald Koeman’s Barça fell by the minimum in the Metropolitano after a goal from Yannick Ferreira Carrasco.

October is the second break of this season. There was already one in September. Barça won emphatically on their return against Betis in one of their best performances of the season. 5-0 with goals from Joao Félix, Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, Raphinha and Cancelo.
Last year, there were only two national team breaks, World Cup aside. After the one in September, Barça won in Mallorca with a goal from Lewandowski and after the one in March, they beat Elche (0-4), with two goals from Lewandowski, one from Ansu and another from Ferran Torres.
And there were three breaks in the 21/22 season. The three subsequent games ended in victories for Barça. Triumph against Sevilla (1-0), with a goal from Pedri. Victory against Espanyol (1-0), with a goal from Memphis Depay from a penalty in Xavi’s debut on the bench. And three points against Valencia (3-1) with goals from Ansu Fati, Memphis and Coutinho.
The next break will come in November. It will be the last of the year and will serve to define the teams qualified for the next European Championship in Germany. The Spanish team already is after its last victory against Norway.
