"Thanks to their win over Real Betis, Barcelona were able to reach an astonishing record of 19 wins out of 19 home matches in La Liga this season. It was a perfect record that could have been substantiated further if Barcelona hadn't lost the game against Alaves, as a win there could have given the Catalans the opportunity to reach 100 points for the season."
"Nevertheless, Barcelona's record of 19 home wins out of 19 matches is a record in itself and has been matched only twice by a European team in the history of football. Indeed, the feat places Barča alongside Juventus, who achieved the same record in Serie A in 2013-14 under Antonio Conte, and Saint-Etienne, who did so in Ligue 1 in 1974-75 under Robert Herbin, reports Mundo Deportivo."
"What makes Barcelona's achievement even more extraordinary is that it was accomplished across three different venues. Two matches were played at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, three at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, and the remaining 14 at the Spotify Camp Nou. Across all three venues, Barcelona scored 57 goals and conceded just 10, keeping 10 clean sheets and winning 15 of the 19 games by a margin of more than one goal."
"Meanwhile, no other club in England, Germany or Spain has ever managed 19 home wins from 19 in a single top-flight season. The previous Spanish record was 17 wins from 17, set by Real Madrid under Luis Molowny in the 1985-86 season. A record across three stadiums"
Barcelona reached 19 home wins out of 19 La Liga matches after beating Real Betis. The perfect home record could have been extended further, since a win against Alaves would have offered a chance to reach 100 points for the season. The 19-for-19 home record is matched only by Juventus in Serie A in 2013-14 and Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 in 1974-75. No club in England, Germany, or Spain has previously managed 19 home wins from 19 in a single top-flight season. Barcelona’s home success came across three venues: Estadi Johan Cruyff, Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, and Spotify Camp Nou. Across all venues, Barcelona scored 57 goals, conceded 10, kept 10 clean sheets, and won 15 matches by more than one goal. With one match remaining at Mestalla against Valencia, Barcelona aims to finish on a high and reach 97 points.
