Barca to equal Bayern’s UCL record with win against Spurs
The Barça is accumulating records in its history of the Champions League. He has already managed to be a group first on 20 occasions, establishing a record that other ‘greats’ look at from a distance. If he avoids the defeat against Tottenham, he will also qualify for the 12th time as undefeated, which is also a historical record. And you can add one more. It has accumulated 28 consecutive European games without losing at home, a run since September 2013 with a balance of 26 wins and two draws. A victory or a tie would be equal to the maximum established by Bayern Munich between March 1998 and April 2002.
Barça have also won all their group matches at home in the last five editions, and have not lost any since 2009, another run of 27 games (25 wins and two draws). The last match in the Camp Nou against an English rival was a 3-0 against Chelsea in the round of eighth, completing a global victory by 4-1. The overall record at home against English clubs is 20 wins, 11 draws and two defeats.
Tito Vilanova’s streak
The options of beating this record are high because Barça usually accompanies their matches with goals, for better or for worse. In the 23 of this season, in all, the team has ended up seeing the door, even in their two defeats. Since the 2012-2013 campaign, this registry did not last as long. With Tito Vilanova they reached these 23 games, but in the next, in the league against Benfica (0-0), they did not go away without a goalless draw.
The argument against is that Pochettino already knows how to beat Barca in the Estadi. Being coach of Espanyol in the 2008-2009 season, the Argentine doubled ‘Pep Team’ by 1-2, although those three points lost did not deprive the Catalans of lifting the league title. The clashes between the two technicians, however, opted for the side of the Txingurri. Twice the faces have been seen: a draw in the League and the recent victory at Wembley
