Differences between Real Madrid and Barcelona: Who is more accurate? Who runs
Real Madrid and Barcelona meet tonight at the Santiago Bernabéu in one of the most exciting and evenly matched El Clasicos in recent years. The eternal reign of the white team, especially in Europe, the revival of Barça in the hands of Flick and the spectacular list of footballers who will return to the Santiago Bernabeu make this party the biggest spectacle in the world.

Who achieves better?

As has happened in recent years, the bets continue to favor Real Madrid, although with a smaller margin compared to last season. And Flick's spectacular start to Barca's season has leveled an El Cásico that in recent years has been underpowered by the iron fist of Real Madrid. However, the feeling is now different, with many pundits saying that Barca's team will do better in El Clasico than Madrid.

Player for player, parity is at its maximum, as reflected in the MARCA.com macro poll. In the ideal Classic eleven, more than 100,000 internet users who voted choose six players from Real Madrid (Lunin, Rüdiger, Militao, Valverde, Vinicius and Mbappé) to five from Barcelona (Koundé, Balde, Casadó, Olmo and Lamine. Yamal ), something that might have seemed unimaginable when the season started, but that the good form of Flick's team has equaled.
In terms of results, the parity between the two teams is also maximum, adding two six points from nine in the Champions League and occupying the first two positions in La Liga with a narrow margin of three points in favor of Barca.
What do the numbers say?

Although the sensations say that Barcelona achieves better in the Classic, the data from both teams once again establishes maximum equality. Looking for differences in key Champions League stats, passing accuracy, number of attacks and kilometers traveled is where the most important comparisons can be made.

Who runs the most? The figures, and here they agree with the sentiments, say that Barça. While Barca's side average 113 kilometers per game, Madrid remain at 108. It's not a definitive difference, but it shows that the effort of Flick's high-pressing side is higher than Ancelotti's.

Madrid, on the contrary, have more possession, more accuracy in passing and attack more. The Whites have an average possession of 51.67 percent, compared to Barca's 50.6. The number of passes is also higher than Real Madrid's, 1,393 good out of 1,564 (88.6% success), while Barça has 1,216 good out of 1,397 (85.3% success).

Although Barca's team stands out at the beginning of the season for its dizzying football and its pressure, the team that recovers the most balls is Real Madrid. So far in the Champions League, a benchmark for being the most demanding competition, Madrid have 110 recoveries (36.6 per game) compared to Barca's 99 (33 per game).

In terms of shots, Madrid is also the leader: 25 compared to 11 for the whites. A surprising fact, like the one about dribbling. With Vinicius and Mbappé, everyone would bet that Madrid is the team with the most dribbles, but Raphinha and Lamine make Barça the leader in the one-on-one match: 61 dribbles to 58. However, the maximum parity in a duel that this year seems more even than ever.
