The Barcelona took the victory against Real society 0-1 in one of the most difficult games in LaLiga Santander that remained to those of Xavi Hernandez. However, the image given by the team has been very bad. And the numbers make it clear that the result is very unfair for the Basques.
The first of the data that has left all analysts surprised has been that of possession. The Barcelona from Xavi Hernandez he had always prioritized good play and ball control above all else. In Anoeta, on the other hand, the locals stood out in this statistic with 55%.
“It’s a golden victory. But I’m not satisfied with the game. In the first part, yes, but in the second we suffered. We have to be honest and self-critical. We haven’t been good. We have to improve. This is not the way We have suffered. It has not been our ideal of the game”, assured the Barcelona coach.
But there is one fact that stands out above the rest: the number of shots on goal. Barcelona has only shot once between the three suits. One shot, one goal. 100% effectiveness and an offensive production, at least, scarce. Numbers that cast doubt on the Catalans’ game.
With everything, With this result, Barcelona ensures a pass to the Champions League. He is not yet a mathematician, but those of Xavi Hernandez have passed a litmus test at the stadium of the Real society.
