Barcelona flies and attacks Cagliari's record of goals conceded in the Scudetto
Xavi's Catalans conceded 0.34 goals per game: Albertosi and his teammates finished the championship at 0.36
Twenty-six games played, nine goals conceded. Xavi's Barcelona closed the door and conceded no more goals. And now Cagliari's record from 1970 is also shaking. As reported by Rivista Undici, the Blaugrana average is 0.34 goals conceded per game : even better than Scopigno's impenetrable defence, who conceded 0.36 per match in the golden year of the Scudetto, eleven in total , out of the 30 games overall.
That of Albertosi and his companions is a record that has stood for 53 years : no one, in the top five European leagues, has ever held such a low average goals conceded. At least until today, with a granite Barcelona that is, in fact, killing La Liga: 19 times in this championship, goalkeeper Ter Stegen has brought home the "clean sheet" , the clean sheet.
In any case, the championship is still long, there are still twelve games to go, and beating Cagliari's record won't be a walk in the park: to do so, the blaugrana would have to concede fewer than five goals in the remaining games .
