When it comes to Barcelona’s offensive potential, there’s no dilemma whatsoever, as the Catalan giants are packed with some superb forwards. Veteran Lewandowski, youngsters Pedri, Gavi, Ansu Fati and experienced Ferran Torres.However, their defensive abilities are often scrutinised since both fans and pundits are a bit confused by the awkward state of their defence. On home soil, in La Liga, Xavi’s boys have built a massive wall in front of their goal, conceding just seven goals in 22 rounds, with three coming in one match against Real Madrid.Lewa gets his shooting mojo back as Barsa defeat Cadiz thanks to first-half blitzkriegThe 2-0 victory against Cadiz was their 17th clean sheet out of 22 league games.
