In what is fast becoming a key feature of their success, Barcelona’s offside trap has seen them draw over twice as many as the next-nearest in Europe this season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six points clear at the summit in Spain. 37 goals scored and just 10 conceded in 11 games. Hansi Flick’s new-look Barcelona are glimmering with boldness and mettle – something that has been missing from the Blaugrana in recent years.<\/p>\n

Nothing signals their resurgence in form like consecutive victories over Bayern Munich and Real Madrid by an aggregate scoreline of 8-1.<\/p>\n

Flick’s Barca are undoubtedly shaped in his vision for a brave, bold brand of football that places a heavy emphasis on aggressive, front-foot pressing.<\/p>\n

This has been evident throughout their storming start in La Liga, as well as in Europe, but their 4-1 El Clasico win<\/a> saw perhaps their most gallant effort yet.<\/p>\n

With the knowledge that Real Madrid have a preference for running in behind given the pace and power of their frontline, Barcelona’s offside trap found a startling new gear on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
