Barcelona, the jewel of the soccer world, once known for its attacking soccer, has made a strategic turn this season, adopting the tactic of "one goal to rule the day". At dawn on Monday (13th), they beat Bilbao by a narrow 1-0 margin away from home in La Liga. Barcelona, who is leading the table, has won 1-0 for the 9th time in the league this season, which is the highest number of 1-0 wins in a single season in the team's history, and undoubtedly provides a new point of interest for bettors.
The lone goal of the match came in first half stoppage time, when Barcelona's veteran Busquets made a clever diagonal pass, which was received by Rafin Chabiloni on the right side of the penalty area, and scored with a precise shot from a narrow angle, marking his third 1-0 win in his last five league matches.
Barcelona's defensive performance this season has been nothing short of spectacular, as they have conceded only 8 goals in 25 league games, a record for the fewest goals conceded in the same period in the team's history, and goalkeeper Dustin Sturgeon has achieved 19 shutouts in 19 matches. Meanwhile, second- and third-ranked Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have conceded 19 goals each, making Barcelona's defense stand out.
Although the number of Barcelona's goals has decreased, the strategy of "one goal to decide the kingdom" is very practical, and they are now 9 points ahead of Real Madrid. The two teams will meet in the next round of the La Liga "National Derby", which will undoubtedly become the key battle for this season's La Liga title.
