In the 21 games played so far this season, FC Barcelona has not conceded a goal from a corner kick in 98 attempts

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Hansi Flick has revolutionised the defence of FC Barcelona. Under the guidance of the German, the Catalans have become known for their advanced defensive line and the already famous 'offside trap', which is increasingly perfected. However, there is another element that shows the coach's hand in the actions in the area of ​​Ter Stegen and Iñaki Peña.

And it is that in the 21 matches played by the Blaugrana team this season, they have not yet received a single goal from a corner kick. Despite the fact that their rivals have had 98 opportunities from the corner, none have been able to break down the Barça goal from set pieces.

Barça become 'unbeatable' from set pieces

Real Madrid and Monaco are the teams that tried the most with 10 opportunities each, but failed along the way. Despite not having a very tall squad, the Catalans' system in these actions has become 'infallible', led by an imperial Iñigo Martínez in the air.

In addition, Barça has not conceded a goal from a free kick, confirming the significant improvement compared to last season, in which they conceded two goals from corners and two more from free kicks. Flick's 'board' continues to destroy its rivals.
