He Barça of flip From birth, it teaches us distinctive characteristics of identity that unwittingly invite us to neglect others. Above all, one that is not properly associated with the game: the independent republic of the set piece. It’s almost a game that has a life of its own within football. It has nothing to do with whether you are playing better or worse, it is a bracket that starts and ends in seconds, that is not conditioned even by an expulsion, and that usually even responds to physical conditions rather than technical ones.
Perhaps this is overlooked in more general assessments, but the Barça He is the best in this subject. Both in attack and defense, where they only conceded 6 goals, 4 of them from eleven meters. We don’t only have to look at the direct actions because the territory of the set piece also includes the second and third plays that depend on the initial because the configuration of both teams is in strategy mode, that is, there are individual duels that are different from those of the match , with center backs attacking and forwards defending for example. Concentration, ambition and laboratory work make up the perfect recipe.
The unwritten laws of football state that 1 out of every 3 goals comes from actions of this type. In the case of Barça Currently, the numbers are very close to this principle. Of the 76 official goals, 24 were from set pieces. That is, 31.5%. There were 4 from penalties, 8 from lateral fouls (some of them in the second and third plays), 6 from corners (all but one of Lewandowski he is new Boysas well as in secondary actions), including 5 very prominent in strategy defense scenes that cause changes, including Raphinha in Dortmund to pass Dani Olmowhich came from a throw-in. In all colors. 14 in League2 in cup and 8 in Champions. No equipment or League or in the Champions League surpassing the Blaugrana’s records.
In the individual section, Lewandowski He scored 8 of his 25 goals thanks to this subject and Raphinha 5 of their 17, again almost exactly the proportion 1 of 3. Honor roll number.

Precocity has more and more weight in the world of football. In a few days of 2025, we have already seen Toni Fernández’s debut with Barça at Barbastro at the age of only 16. Not only that, but also confirmation of Ethan Nwaneri scoring with Arsenal against Brighton. It wasn’t his first goal, but he became the first player in the club’s history to score more than one goal before the age of 18. He made his debut at the age of 15 with the Gunner’s first team…as Lamine Yamal. Another minor, left-footed, right winger, from 2007… like Lamine Yamal. He has not exploded like the Blaugrana, but after the injury of Saka, who will be out for a few months, he will fill our eyes with his talent in the variation for the imbalance. Extreme youth for extremes seems like a good recipe.
