Elche CF vs FC Barcelona (1-2) Post Match Thread #FCBarcelona #LaLiga

1) Pass Network
Barca dominated most of the game, but there was a lack of wide outlet on the left due to Gavi playing as a false winger. Lot of chances created, scoreline could've been bigger for Barca.

2) Shot Map
Barca took a lot of shots, failing to convert a lot of easy goals. Elche too took a few many shots, mostly out of the box, compared to Barca who were shooting more from inside the box.

3) Attacking Sides
Barca were the most dominant in the middle third, completing 147 passes in the middle third, followed by the left and right side. Elche were less involved in the opp. third, mostly entering through the center.

4) Pass Cluster
Barca made the highest number of passes in the centre, mostly between the defenders, Araujo and Pique, and the midfielders, Busquets and Frenkie de Jong.

5) xT Generation
Elche's Fidel was the highest xT performer of the game, followed by Jordi Alba and Ousmane Dembele. Dani Alves, Adama Traore and Pique were quite threatening too, along with Kike Perez and Pere Milla.

6) xT Generation by Midfielders
Frenkie was mostly threating from the left, and Pedri on the right. Busquets was again a force in the center midfield, generating xT from almost all parts of the midfield.

7) xT Generation by Teams
Both teams' gameplan quite clear here. Barca generated most xT through buildup in the center, while Elche mostly tried long balls from the back. They also targeted the left wing, to take advantage of Alves.
