Barcelona match 20 year clean sheet record at start of season

Barcelona match 20 year clean sheet record at start of season

Claudio Bravo completed his third league match with Barcelona and kept a clean sheet for the third game running.

It allowed the team to match a record they last hit in 1993, when they started the season with three clean sheets. 

On that occasion the streak was cut short on the fourth gameweek, when Real Zaragoza scored at Camp Nou in a 4-1 defeat for them. 

If Barcelona keep a clean sheet at the Ciutat de Valencia, against Levante next Sunday, they will break the record.

The game against Athletic was the first time Enrique had to choose between Bravo and Marc Andre ter Stegen. 

He kept the faith with the Chilean international and it paid dividends.
