After the 2-2 draw against Manchester United, the BarcelonaXavi Hernandez, declared in a press conference that his team is one of the most offensive in European football.
“I hear we’re a defensive team, it’s amazing. We are the team in Europe that plays the most attacking games, along with City,” he said.
No spanish league, the Catalans have really been strong offensively. With 43 goals in 21 matches, Barcelona’s attack is the second best in the competition, just one goal behind Real Madrid.
However, Xavi’s charges stand out even more when looking at Spain’s most solid defences. Barcelona have conceded just seven league goals so far, 10 fewer than rivals Real Madrid and Atlético.
For the clash of the next round against Cádiz, the team does not have midfielder Pedri, who was injured in the game against United. On the other hand, Barcelona will have the return of captain Sérgio Busquets, recovered from an ankle injury.
