Crazy stat.

La Liga 93/94.

1 - Barcelona. Goals conceded - 42
2 - Deportivo. Conceded - 18
3 - Zaragoza. Conceded - 47
4 - Madrid. Conceded - 50

You read that right.

Barcelona actually had the joint 2nd BEST defensive record in La Liga. I kid you not.

There’s more.

Barça & Depor - Same points.

Barcelona - 7 losses, 91 goals.
Deportivo - 4 losses, 54 goals.

Deportivo needed to just win their final game at home on the last day of the season to win the league. Against Valencia.

Game was 0-0 until the final minute. They got a penalty.

And...

But no one tells the story better than Sid Lowe. You should really read it.
