Koeman, in the footsteps of Vilanova and Guardiola

Ronald Koeman's Barcelona has not lost in LaLiga for three months. The last time was on December 5 when they fell 2-1 in Cádiz. From now on 16 games in a row without knowing defeat, adding 13 wins and three draws. Interestingly, the team adds eight consecutive wins away from the Camp Nou in LaLiga. In fact, in this 2021 he has won all his matches outside the Blaugrana coliseum.

The extraordinary streak began on December 22 in Pucela (0-3) against Valladolid. From here: Huesca (0-1), Athletic (2-3), Granada (0-4), Elche (0-2), Betis (2-3), Sevilla (0-2) and Osasuna (0 -two).

Right now, Koeman is just two wins behind the absolute record for consecutive wins away from the Camp Nou, which is set at ten wins in a row, first achieved by Pep Guardiola (2010/11 and later by Tito Vilanova (2012/13). In both seasons, Barcelona won the title.

But if we chain one season with another, the absolute record of consecutive trips winning is 12, in the possession of Guardiola, that put the last two outings of the 2009/10 season on track with the first ten of the 2010/11 season.

In addition, Koeman chains for the first time this campaign four games in a row without conceding a goal: Elche (3-0), Sevilla (0-2), Sevilla (3-0) and Osasuna (0-2).
