Just 14 games under Guardiola without scoring
Marc Guillén
Javi Varas is one of the few keepers who can boast that they have kept out Guardiola’s team –under Pep’s management, the team have only failed to score in 14 of the 188 games they’ve played.
Pep Guardiola’s team very rarely fail to score – and when they do the reaction tends to
be pretty effective as Madrid found out when they lost 2-6 at the Bernabeu immediately following
Barça’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea.
Just 7% of games without scoring
Barça’s attacking football is reflected in their stats since Guardiola took charge and
the fact that they have only failed to score on 14 ocassions – 8 of them played away from the
Camp Nou.
Team bounces back
The team have repeatedly shown that they can bounce back from problems and after
the games in which they failed to score, Barça have won 9 games, drawn 1 and lost 3 games, with an
average of 2.7 goals a game – perhaps the most spectacular result being that 2-6 win in
Bernabeu.
