Barcelona Offside More Often Than Opponent for First Time This Season

Barcelona suffered a surprising 0-1 defeat to Real Sociedad in La Liga’s 13th round, breaking an unusual streak in the process.

Details: Before this game, Barcelona had not once been caught offside more frequently than their opponents this season. However, in the match against Real Sociedad, the "Blaugrana" were flagged offside four times compared to the Basque side’s three.

Notably, last week Barcelona set a unique record, having caught their opponents offside 100 times since the season began, making them the best in Europe in this statistic.

Reminder: German coach Hansi Flick recently commented on the defeat to the Basques and the absence of winger Lamine Yamal in the 13th round of La Liga.

By the way, Barcelona midfielder Pedri recently shared insights on the fines that were in place under Xavi and also described the current fines under Hansi Flick’s management.
