Real Madrid "in length and width" dominated the Spanish football club Clasico and imposed its style and was the closest to hijacking the match points that ended in a goalless draw.
The confrontation figures confirm the superiority of coach Zinedine Zidane's men who spent more time than Ernesto Valverde's men in the opponent's penalty area:
- Real Madrid hit the target twice the barca (11 shots for Merengue, four of them on target, while Barca hit five times, including two on the goal).
- Al -Malaki won six corner kicks compared to two for the Blaugrana.
Most of the game was played in Barcelona (more than 60% of the ninety minutes).
Real Madrid passed 32 times into the Barca penalty area, against Barcelona eight times.
- Real Madrid players succeeded in regaining the ball 55 times, compared to 51 for the Barca players (including 25 for Zidane's midfield, compared to 16 for Valverde's midfield).
Real Madrid players have the highest percentage of correct passes (88.3%) compared to 87.2%.
Real Madrid managed to prevent Barca from scoring any goal at Camp Nou, since the last time Barça did not score at Camp Nou was in February 2018 against Getafe.
Barca won all its matches in the Camp Nou La Liga this season, with the exception of yesterday's match.
- Barca has become more dependent on its leader, Lionel Messi, when he does not record or make "Bulga", Barca often does not win, the latter lost against Athletic Bilbao and Granada, and drew with Osasuna, Slavia, Sociedad and Real Madrid, and in these matches Messi did not score.
Valverde is equivalent to the figure of Josep Guardiola, the former coach of Barca in avoiding the loss of the Clasico (seven games), and Guardiola achieved this number between April 2011 and January 2012.
Barcelona suffers in the Camp Nou. In the last seven games against Real, Barca managed to win in only one match, which was in the away leg of La Liga last season (5-1), and in the rest of the games (four draws and one loss).
But Barcelona did not change its habits with the upper hand on the subject of possession, as the numbers indicate that Barca acquired the ball 52%, compared to 48% for the riyal.
