FC Barcelona is in great shape right now. Xavi Hernández’s team is playing good football and the results of recent weeks have been excellent, following the improvement noted in 2022. Now the blaugranes are within reach of second place with one game less in La Liga.

The next challenge in the league will come against the team currently in second place, Sevilla. The only two teams unbeaten since the start of the year in La Liga meet at Camp Nou on Sunday April 3 at 9 p.m. CEST.

26 out of 30 in La Liga

Focusing on La Liga, the Blaugranes have taken 26 out of a possible 30 points in the last 10 games. Barca are the best team in La Liga in 2022 with Atlético Madrid having taken 25 points and Villarreal and Real Madrid. In Europe’s top five leagues, only Premier League club Liverpool have collected more points in 2022 with 28.

Eight wins and two draws in those 10 matches saw Barca take their tally to 54 points and move up to third place in the standings. Barca have scored 27 goals in those 10 matches, conceding just seven and keeping a clean sheet on four occasions.

More goals

In the first part of the season, Barca struggled to find the net but the arrivals of Aubameyang and Ferran Torres in the January transfer market helped reverse that trend. The Gabon striker has nine goals in all competitions and Ferran Torres six and in the league they have seven and four so far this year, ahead of any other player in La Liga.

Dembélé is also in fine form and he has bagged seven assists in 2022, more than anyone in Europe’s top five leagues.

Undefeated in the Europa League

Barca are also unbeaten in the Europa League after drawing at home against Napoli in their play-offs and against Galatasary in the round of 16. quarter-finals.

The only blemishes on Barca’s notebook are the 3-2 Copa del Rey loss in San Mamés against Athletic Club de Bilbao and another 3-2 defeat against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals . The blaugranes gave their all in defeats which both went to extra time.

That, however, is now history and all eyes are now on the game against Sevilla to see if Barca can extend their unbeaten run in 2022 to 13 matches.
