That FC Barcelona's attacking effectiveness has increased since the arrival of Hansi Flick is undeniable. The Blaugrana are the top scorers in LaLiga, having scored 25 goals in the first eight games of the championship. However, the posts have prevented this statistic from increasing, as in the same number of games, the Catalans have hit the woodwork on nine occasions!
Ferran Torres is the latest to join the list with his shot against the post in the final minutes of the match against Osasuna. Previously, Robert Lewandowski (twice against Athletic and once against Valladolid), Dani Olmo (twice against the 'pucelanos' and once against Rayo) and Lamine Yamal (against Villarreal and Getafe) were the Blaugranas who saw the post prevent them from celebrating their goals.
Barça lead the table
With these nine posts, the team managed by Hansi Flick leads the table of shots on the woodwork by a long way over its closest pursuer, Osasuna, who have 5. Behind these two are Real Sociedad, Athletic and Atlético (all three with 4) and Villarreal, Getafe, Alavés and Leganés (3). Meanwhile, Real Madrid have 'only' hit the post on two occasions.
