Five key stats from Barcelona 4-1 Huesca

Barcelona had the chance to cover ground over Atletico Madrid, and unlike last time, Ronald Koeman’s men came through. Starting in a 3-4-3, there were some doubts over how this would play against a low-block side, but courtesy of a plethora of eye-catching goals, Barça etched a 4-1 scoreline and are now just four points off leaders Atleti.
Barça Universal brings to you five stats that surrounded the beautiful goals we saw.
Defence
Barcelona started in a 3-4-3 on the night with Frenkie de Jong headlining the defence through the centre. However, it was Oscar Mingueza who grabbed the plaudits, scoring a sensational header for his first Barcelona goal.
