The Brazilian has had a positive impact at Barcelona

He broke a La Liga record in the win at Eibar on Sunday

Paulinho was one of Barcelona's summer signings, although his arrival was the subject for much debate at the time. 

However, thanks to his goals and his performances, he's earned Ernesto Valverde's confidence, who has selected him in a number of big games. 

That confidence has allowed Paulinho to make an impact and, according to Pedro Martín, @pedritonumeros, the Brazilian has become the player to have played the most La Liga games (23) without losing any (18 wins and five draws). 

Paulinho will now look to get a start in the Champions League against Chelsea on Tuesday. He was taken off after 74 minutes against Eibar, replaced by Aleix Vidal. 

Pedro Martín also highlighted that Barcelona have only lost one game with Samuel Umtiti in the side (31 games, 36 wins, four draws and one less).
