Stat Attack: Barcelona are the team with most wins in all competitions in 2023

Barcelona ended the year on a disappointing note, succumbing to an exit from the UEFA Champions League stage for the second consecutive season.

However, Barcelona have started 2023 on a very positive note. In fact, the Catalans have recorded the most number of wins in all competitions than any other team in Europe this year.

Barça’s tally currently stands at 14. They are tied with Manchester United at the top spot, but the Blaugrana have done it in just 17 matches, whereas the Premier League giants have already played 19 matches.

Among the 14 wins, eight of them have come in La Liga. Their solid form in the league has helped them secure a formidable lead at the top and the advantage could extend up to nine points if they can register a victory over Athletic Club today.

In addition to their form in La Liga, Barcelona have performed extremely well in the domestic cup competitions. They secured the Supercopa Espana by beating Real Betis and Real Madrid earlier in the year.

While they did have a hard time beating Intercity in Copa Del Rey, it was followed by wins over Ceuta, Real Sociedad and most recently, Real Madrid, in the first leg of the semifinal.

The only disappointment for Barcelona this year was the defeat to Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League. The Catalans succumbed to a 3-4 aggregate defeat at the hands of Erik ten Hag’s men, effectively sealing their exit from the competition.

However, with Barça emerging as the red-hot favourite to secure the league title, coupled with their lead in the Copa Del Rey semifinal, they have an excellent chance of dominating domestic football and come out with more belief next season.
