In his first year as coach, Tito Vilanova has succeeded in breaking all the records with Barcelona and entering the la Liga history books in grand style. Team Tito is already the team with the best ever start to the season since the league's foundation, beating Real Madrid's 1991-1992 season in which the 'Blancos' clocked up twelve wins and a draw.
Barcelona's track record this campaign is impeccable, winning every game in succession, with the exception of the 'Classico' on 7th October when it could not break the draw against Madrid (2-2). The 'Azulgranas' have not tasted defeat in any of its 14 matches, totalling thirteen victories and one draw.
Regardless of all that, Tito Vilanova is not being complacent and does not see la Liga as a done deal. The past has not been forgotten. Despite the historic record set by Real Madrid in the 91/92 season, its coach, Radomir Antic was fired halfway through the campaign.
Comparison with his predecessor, Pep Guardiola, is inevitable: "It's not possible to replicate those four years because of the titles they won and the way the playing style evolved. I feel very proud. This has happened in a very short space of time. We need to look at it further down the line, but I'm sure that I'll lose out in the comparisons by a long way".
