Barcelona's goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen is currently level at 26 clean sheets in a season with Deportivo goalkeeper Paco Liano, who set the record for most clean sheets in 1993/94.
Barcelona still has one game to play, which means Ter Stegen can break the record of Paco Liano.
Stegen is also likely to win the golden glove award. The golden glove award is given to a keeper who has kept the most number of clean sheets in a season, which means conceding the least number of goals.
Barcelona will play their last league match against Celta Vigo on June 4.
