Madrid and Barça have the two most lethal attacks in the league – Barça have scored 82 goals so far this season and Madrid 62 – but their attacking philosophies, and indeed the way they concede goals, are markedly different as the analysis below shows.
HOW ? Leo Messi’s 38 goals are the difference between the two, with Madrid more effective in the air . Curiously, Barça conceded their first goal from a header so far this season in their last league game against Seville, when Botia scored the opener at the Camp Nou.

WHERE? Perhaps rather surprisingly, Barça have scored twice as many long range goals than Madrid, though 25 of the 28 they’ve conceded have been scored form inside their box. SCORED INSIDE THE BOX OUTSIDE THE BOX
