(Photo by Juan Manuel Serrano Arce\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very even match, but we need to finish our moves better,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>This was particularly evident in the recent win over Elche in La Liga. At the Martinez Valero last weekend, the Catalans managed to get all three points, but they recorded an xG of 6.5 \u2013 the highest since data has been available \u2013 but only scored three. <\/p>\n<p>Against Real Sociedad last month, Barcelona\u2019s xG was 3.6, but they lost the match 2-1. Last night against Albacete, the xG recorded was 3, but Bar\u00e7a managed only a 2-1 win.<\/p>\n<p>Across those three matches, the data suggested that 13 goals should have been scored, yet only six were actually converted, less than half.<\/p>\n<p>Flick is fully aware that this aspect is crucial in order to achieve the objectives ahead, especially in a competition as demanding as the Champions League. Without clinical finishing, the consequences can be decisive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite having had some ups and downs, FC Barcelona are once again enjoying a very strong season on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454973,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[1205,36226,49,48,12546,39260,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-454972","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-barcelona-news","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-fc-barcelona","13":"tag-hansi-flick","14":"tag-soccer","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454972\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
