During the seventh round matches played on Saturday, the Chilean needed to keep his goal "dry" for at least 20 minutes to improve the league's best achievement.
In the 1977-1978 season, the then Catalonia club goalkeeper Pedro Maria Artola did not concede a single goal from the start of the championship until the 20th minute of the 7th round, i.e., a total of 560 minutes.
C. Bravo successfully overcame this limit, although in the match against "Rayo Vallecano" in the first half, he had to repel several dangerous opponent's shots.
Madrid won the duel with the Catalan club in the league's average 2:0, which means that now C. Bravo's "dry" minutes streak has extended to 630, making him the absolute record holder of the Primera.
This summer, the Chilean who arrived at "Barcelona" from San Sebastian's "Real Sociedad" did not concede any goals in matches against "Elche", "Villarreal", Bilbao's "Athletic", Valencia's "Levante", "Malaga", "Granada" and Madrid's "Rayo Vallecano" teams.
This is the best performance from the start of the Spanish championship until the 7th round in the entire history of the national championship.
Now C. Bravo has the opportunity to improve Miguel Reina's achievement. In 1972-1973, the goalkeeper who defended "Barcelona's" goal kept it "dry" for 824 minutes. However, such a successful streak without goals was recorded not from the beginning of the championship.
The absolute Primera record still belongs to the legendary Madrid "Atletico" goalkeeper Abel Resino - 1275 "dry" minutes. This is how successfully the Spaniard defended his team's goal in the 1990-1991 season.
