Barcelona - The Unbeaten Defense

There has been complete overhaul in the Barcelona defense if we compare them to their shambolic performances last season under Tata Martino. From being a leaky and sloppy defense they have been morphed into a water tight and rock solid defense by Luis Enrique in just less than three months.

Barcelona hasn’t conceded a single goal in Spain’s top flight this season and only 3 goals in their entire season. All three of them were in Champions League game against PSG. Signing of Jeremy Mathieu and their keeper Bravo has been instrumental in their defensive turnaround.

Especially Bravo, who is having a dream debut season in Camp Nou. They are solid while defending set pieces which was their Achilles heel for quite a while. Pique, Alves and Alba are familiar faces in the defense and it is only a strong managerial impact that has turned around the strength of their back-line.
