"Barcelona has already matched the 13 La Liga clean sheets recorded by Hansi Flick's side last season and they still have six matches remaining to surpass that tally."
"Last season, Barcelona did not secure their 13th clean sheet until the very final matchday, travelling to San Mames and beating Athletic Club 3-0 to reach that figure."
"Today's rematch against Getafe presents the first opportunity to move beyond 13 and into uncharted territory for this Flick era."
"With five further fixtures to follow, Barcelona could easily end the season with at least 15 clean sheets, which would put Joan Garcia in firm contention to win the prestigious Zamora trophy in his debut campaign."
Barcelona is positioned as the favorite to win La Liga following Real Madrid's loss. A victory against Getafe could extend their lead to 11 points. Despite criticism of their defense, Barcelona has improved, matching last season's clean sheet total of 13 with six matches remaining. They achieved this milestone earlier in the season compared to last year. Today's match against Getafe offers a chance to set a new record, potentially reaching 15 clean sheets and enhancing Joan Garcia's chances for the Zamora trophy.
