🎮 Tactical Overview

This clash will feature two very different tactical identities.

🔥 Barcelona: Possession & High Press

Under their current setup, Barcelona are known for:

  • Dominating the ball with 68% average possession
  • Aggressive pressing (PPDA: 8.3)
  • Quick vertical passes to exploit half-spaces

Expect Pedri and Frenkie de Jong to dictate tempo, while Lewandowski leads a fluid front line supported by overlaps from Baldé.

Barcelona may also take advantage of set pieces. With 12 goals from corners this season, they have one of the best aerial threats in the league. Watch for Araújo to be a key target during attacking corners.

🔧 Girona: Deep Block & Counters

Girona will likely sit deep in a 5-4-1 formation:

  • Compact structure to reduce spaces between lines
  • Reliance on fast transitions, using Tsygankov and Danjuma on the flanks
  • Long balls aimed at Stuani, who holds up play

Girona’s key to success lies in soaking up pressure and striking during transition moments. Their 43% long ball rate indicates a clear strategy: bypass the midfield and exploit spaces behind Barcelona’s high defensive line.

The battle will be between Barcelona’s intricate build-up and Girona’s resilience and pace on the break.
