I'm a fan of Real Madrid, but I like to do analysis based on the data, we have the following scenario in La Liga:
1 - Barcelona = played 25 games, scored 47 goals and only conceded 8 goals.
2 - Real madrid = played 25 games, scored 50 goals and conceded 19 goals
when we look at barcelona, we can clearly see that their performance is simply very good, that's something incredible, they only conceded 8 goals in 25 games, and have scored 47 goals. does anyone really have the courage to look at these data and say that barcelona is not doing well? europe league games are things that should not count when analyzing the performance of teams in the local league
Well done! In many fields of life (and if we talk about favourite sports team, even more) we tend to guide us by feelings and deny what reason tells us, but objective data should always be an anchor to not stray from the truth. That said, it is incredible how they managed to defend so effectively while not losing their attack ability.
We can like the team more or less, criticise the latests news on bribery, but if we want to be honest we have to give Caesar what is Caesar's.
Defensively, Barcelona is doing tremendously well. The fact that they conceded only 8 goals despite all these matches proves this to us. Considering that Leipzig conceded 7 goals yesterday, conceding 8 goals in 25 matches in the challenging atmosphere of La Liga is a great success.
