Barcelona hosts Shakhtar ahead of El Clasico. The Spanish champs must win and keep momentum before their biggest game of the year. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians have shown their quality against Antwerp and they won’t come to the Olympic Stadium to surrender right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The home team has 12 games without a loss, nine wins, and three draws. To be exact, we haven’t seen them lose since the year began, and that’s something nobody talks about. Barca might be less attractive to the media since Messi left, which is why there isn’t too much hype about their good results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most recent victory was on Sunday against Athletic Bilbao, whom they defeated 1-0. In two UEFA Champions League games, we’ve seen them beat both Antwerp 5-0 and Porto 0-1, indicating an excellent form of the back line that didn’t allow a single goal. Barcelona played six games at home this year, winning all of them and having five clean sheets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
