With qualification for the quarter-finals at stake and the possibility of overcoming another record if they can beat Arsenal, Barca will seek another victory this season that is overcoming one by one all records proposed
After taking over a year unbeaten home record in all competitions, and seeking to make the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Arsenal, FC Barcelona Luis Enrique is before another record to beat next Wednesday from the 20.45. Barca added to date nine consecutive victories at the Camp Nou and if they can beat Arsenal, surpass his own record in the continental showpiece.
Since the Team "Lucho" conquer the APOEL Nicosia by one to zero, he has done more to overcome in its own arena. Ajax (3-1), PSG (3-1), Manchester City (1-0), again PSG (2-0) and Bayern Munich (3-0) left the Estadi scalded last season and, with meetings this season against Bayer Leverkusen (2-1), BATE Borisov (3-0) and Roma (6-1) form the streak of nine consecutive victories at home, and fourteen consecutive games without perishing home.
And the last time the Blaugrana lost at the Camp Nou was to Bayern Munich on 1 April 2013. On that occasion the team was devastated by the happened with "Tito" Vilanova, Leo Messi was injured and Barca succumbed to the powerful Teuton team that finished raising the "romaine" after beating Borussia Dortmund. After that setback, the Blaugrana have added thirteen wins and a draw in the Nou Camp.
Atletico Madrid got off to Barca of "Tata" of the Champions League with a draw on home soil one that cut the previous run. Yet fourteen consecutive games without losing at home is a wonderful thing for FC Barcelona fans who now stands before a record, which is to exceed nine consecutive wins in the European Cup that made the club between 1986 and 1992. It was another time and another competition, which disputed only the champions of each country, but between editions of 1985-1986 and the 1991-1992 able to win nine straight at home.
Manchester United holds the record for the competition
If finally the victory is achieved, the club will match the third-best home run championship. It's has a Juventus who got between the 1995-1996 seasons (where he won his last Champions) and 1997-1998. In addition, it will remain a party won 11 of Real Madrid between 2012/2013 and 2014/2015 and two of Manchester United, with the record achieved between 2006-07 and 2007-08.
But for this, they will find themselves facing a heartless rival, fallen into decline after losing to FC Barcelona own in the Emirates. Wenger gambled everything to the letter of eliminating the Blaugrana and has paid later. And it is that while the "gunners" came the match against Barca fighting for the Premiership and the FA Cup live, now is out of the cup competition and eight points behind the leader, the Leicester City League.
Londoners have won only one of five games they have played since the match of Champions, and faced a Second Division team, Hull City. The final elimination against Watford on Sunday have been the straw that broke the patience of the fans of the team, from different sectors and calls for the removal of Arsene Wenger.
