FC Barcelona have completed a historic season at home in La Liga. A full house of wins in front of their own fans gave the blaugranes 57 points from a possible 57, between fixtures at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, the Estadi Olímpic and, of course, Spotify Camp Nou.
19 from 19: historic full house
19 wins from 19 home games meant no a single point slipped through Hansi Flick’s team at home. The victories came at three different stadiums: two at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, three at the Estadi Olímpic and 14 at Spotify Camp Nou.
57 goals for 10 against
In 19 home games, Hansi Flick’s team showed their attacking potential with 57 goals, an average of three per game, one for every point. 48 came in the penalty area, 9 from outside the box. Three goals came from penalties and 12 from corners, four from headers, 24 from the right foot and 29 from the left.
Barça’s solidity in defence was a key factor in their home form, conceding just 10 goals in the league at home, an average of 0.53 per game.
10 clean sheets
That excellent defensive record was helped by 10 clean sheets: against Valencia, Getafe, Athletic Club, Osasuna, Oviedo, Mallorca, Levante, Rayo Vallecano, Celta and Real Madrid, putting goalkeeper Joan Garcia in line for the Zamora Trophy.
3 comebacks
Despite their excellent record at home, in some games Barça did have to come back from behind, doing so against Atlético Madrid, Alavés and Real Sociedad.
13 different goalscorers
Barça’s strength at home has been helped by the variety of threats within Hansi Flick’s squad going forward. As many as 13 different players scored at home with Raphinha leading the list iwth 11 goals, following by Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal on nine each.
Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo scored six each with Fermín on four, Rashford on three, two for Ronald Araújo, Marc Bernal and João Cancelo and one for Kounde, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong.
1,440 minutes
Joan Garcia is the player who has featured most at home this season with 1,440 minutes, followed by Eric Garcia on 1,364; Jules Kounde, with 1,260; Gerard Martín with 1,254, and Pau Cubarsí, with 1,239.
In terms of starters, Eric Garcia and Joan Garcia were in the XI for 16 of the 19 games, Gerard Martín 15, Pau Cubarsí 14 and Jules Kounde and Lamine Yamal 13.
6 biggest advantage
Amongst the 19 wins were some handsome victories. The biggest win came in a 6-0 against Valencia thanks to braces from Fermín López, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.
There was also a 5-2 win over Sevilla with a hat-trick from Raphinha, a 4-1 over Villarreal with three goals for Lamine and a 4-0 over Athletic Club. Not forgetting a 2-0 win at home over Real Madrid that sealed a 29th league title for FC Barcelona.
