Real Madrid – Barcelona: The numbers left by the classic: the worst leader and the worst Barça in thirteen seasons | LaLiga Santander 2019

“The one in the first part is the worst Real Madrid I've seen at the Bernabéu, “he said Gerard Piqué after the Barcelona fell 2-0 at the home of the eternal rival.

With the victory, the whites recover the lost leadership after their defeat in the Ciutat de Valencia against Levante, adding 56 goals, one more than Barcelona.

But although they lead the classification, Piqué is right in part of his argument about the team led by Zinedine Zidane: It's not having a good season. Much less Barcelona. And here come the numbers.

Madrid is the worst leader of the last thirteen seasons. His 56 points are inferior to each and every one of the scores that added the first of the League in the day 26. You have to travel to the 2006-2007 academic year to find a leader worse than the current one. It was him Barça de Rijkaardby Xavi Iniesta Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o, Deco … The Catalan club came from being European champion, but in the domestic competition he could not separate from one of the best Seville of history

Both added 50 points, by the 45 of Madrid of Capello, which would end up being champion after a comeback that is still remembered: that goal of Higuaín to Espanyol, that of Roberto Carlos in Huelva or that of Reyes on the last day against Mallorca.

That year was the last, until yesterday's classic, in which the Madrid managed to leave Barça 0 at the Bernabéu (2-0 for whites). In the following twelve visitsMessi and his team scored at least one goal and won eight times. In fact, This season is the first since 1974 in which Madrid settled its two league games against Barcelona without conceding any goal.

It's not the worst white season in the last decade, taking into account that last year they only added 48 points at this point and in the previous 51, but yes it is the worst season of Barça since that leadership in 2006-2007. He had been from 11-12 always adding 60 points at this point, at a constant level that has made them win eight of the last eleven leagues. Two went to Madrid and one to Atlético.
