Xavi, Gavi, and Robert Lewandowski have voiced their opinions that Real Madrid didn’t deserve to win El Clasico. To analyze whether this sentiment holds true, let’s delve into the xG (expected goals) statistics.
According to data from Flashscore, Barcelona generated an xG of 1.02. This implies that they deserved to score the goal they managed, but not much more. Their other chances weren’t particularly threatening but, given the individual skills of Barca’s players, could have been converted into goals.
On the Real Madrid side, they recorded an xG of 1.15. This suggests that they also deserved to score one goal, even though they managed to score two.
Taking these xG statistics into consideration, a fair scoreline for the match would have been 1-1. This outcome seemed increasingly likely after Jude Bellingham’s spectacular goal. However, Barcelona’s complacency in the late stages of the game made it easier for Real Madrid to secure a late winner.
