Barça 'takes' possession of the ball in LaLiga

Hansi Flick not only keeps Barcelona's style intact but enhances it. One of the hallmarks of the Azulgrana game, over the decades, is the ability to maintain possession of the ball. And the culé team was the one that retained the most in LaLiga, with a significant difference. In the 2025-2026 season, the ball was clearly in Barcelona's hands.

Throughout the competition, Flick's team enjoyed 68.91 percent possession in 38 matches. Real Madrid came in second place, quite distantly, with 59.44 percent. Controlling the ball is part of Barcelona's DNA, which the German coach admires, cultivates and develops as his own.

But Barça, champion of the regular national tournament, also stood out in other domestic competition records. Thus, for example, it was the best scoring team: it scored 95 goals (an average of 2.5 per game), 18 more than its pursuer, Real Madrid, who scored 77; was the one who took the most shots: 692 (257 between the three posts), with the Whites following with 665 (253 on goal); and the one with the most points, 21, after losing, with Alavés and Valencia following with 16; she was also the one who took the most corners (262) and the one who caused the most offside situations (164).

Lamine Yamal, in turn, stood out by winning the Zamora Trophy, while Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres tied for Zarra's first place, with 16 goals. The Catalan winger also made the most dribbles, 133, and made the most assists: 11.
