In the 35th round of La Liga, Barcelona lost to Real Sociedad 1-2 at home, which will somewhat disappoint Barcelona fans. Although Barcelona has won the championship ahead of schedule, their fans certainly hope that the team can stand in the last few shifts of this season and try to end the championship season with a decent attitude. However, this situation is normal. After all, teams that win the championship ahead of time will be more or less slack.
In fact, Barcelona won the championship this season, on the one hand, because they were out of Europe in advance, which enabled them to focus more on the league. By comparison, we can see that Real Madrid still fought on the third front in May, and at this time, Barcelona’s workload was obviously much lighter. In the first half of the season, the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league was not very big, but in the second half, Real Madrid involved too much energy, which had been thrown off by Barcelona in the league.
On the other hand, Barcelona did a good job in defense this season. Before losing to Real Society this round, they only conceded 13 goals in 34 league matches. Among the five major leagues, we haven’t seen a team for a long time, and the number of goals conceded in a single season is less than 20.
However, this is also the reason why many fans are very disappointed with the result that Barcelona lost to Real Society-Barcelona had hoped to break a record of five major leagues, but at present, it is not bad that they can tie this record.
This record is the record of conceding goals in a single season, 15. The holder, Chelsea in 2004-05, only conceded 15 goals in 38 league matches. At that time, their coach was the defense master Mourinho.
Of course, AC Milan, the champion of Serie A in 1993-94, conceded 15 goals, but there were only 18 teams in Serie A at that time, with only 34 rounds in a single season, so Mourinho’s Chelsea was relatively better.
Before the match against Real Sociedad, many fans hoped that Barcelona could break Chelsea’s record of losing the fewest goals in a single season in the five major leagues. But at present, after 35 rounds, the number of goals conceded by Barcelona has reached 15, and there is no hope of breaking the record, but there is still some hope of tying.
Barcelona’s opponents in the last three rounds were not strong, namely Balado Lide, Mallorca and Certa. Among them, Mallorca and Certa are both in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, and they have nothing to want this season. Like Barcelona, which won the championship in advance, there is not much fighting spirit. Therefore, in these two games, Barcelona hopes not to lose the ball. However, Balado Lide is currently in the relegation zone. In the last few games, each game is a life-and-death battle. If Barcelona encounters such an opponent, it is difficult to get away with it if it is slack.
In the current situation, Barcelona want to tie Chelsea’s record unless they don’t lose a goal in the last three league games. In their current state of mind, it may be difficult to do this. This can also be seen from their home defeat to Royal Society.
Of course, the record is just the talk and stunt of the fans, and it has no practical significance. In Harvey’s view, Barcelona can already prepare for next season in advance. And to be honest, with the competition intensity in La Liga this season, even if Barcelona really conceded only 15 goals, its gold content is worse than that of Chelsea in that year. Compared with such a dispensable record, returning to the first-team competition in the Champions League may be the most important thing for Harvey and Barcelona.
