The defensive solidity shown by Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium was so great that Real Madrid ended the first leg in the King’s Cup semi-final without hitting any ball on goal, something that had not happened to the “white team” at home for thirteen years, specifically in the year 2010.
Opta statistics indicated that Real Madrid did not hit Barcelona’s goal due to the impressive success of the “Blaugrana” defenders, and the ball did not reach the German goalkeeper Ter Stegen from a real shot, and the Croatian Modric was the one who tried the most (4) against the French Benzema (1) and the Brazilian Vinicius (2). ).
It is also remarkable that it is the first time in the “El Clasico” since the 2013-14 season that one of the two teams ends the match without any shot on goal.
