Whenever Umtiti plays for Barcelona in La Liga... they win!

Umtiti does not know defeat, or even a draw in La Liga. Even more notable is that he has played against some tricky opponents

Barcelona’s 5-0 win over Las Palmas was accompanied by an interesting statistic that should be kept in mind. Whenever Samuel Umtiti has featured in a league match for the club, the Catalans win. 

He has played in nine matches and they have all ended up in victories: 

  • Barça, 6 - Betis, 1 (90')
  • Athletic, 0 - Barça, 1 (70')
  • Leganés, 1 - Barça, 5 (90')
  • Valencia, 2 - Barça, 3 (90')
  • Barça, 1 - Granada,0 (90')
  • Sevilla, 1 - Barça, 2 (90')
  • Osasuna, 0 - Barça, 3 (90')
  • Barça, 4 - Espanyol, 1 (16')
  • Barça, 5 - Las Palmas, 0 (90')

Umtiti does not know defeat, or even a draw in La Liga. Even more notable is that he has played against some tricky opponents in tricky stadiums like the Sanchez-Pizjuan, San Mames and the Mestalla.

Umtiti is showing he has adapted extremely well in six months at the club and understands his partners in defence and goalkeeper Ter Stegen. Long may it continue…
