The "La Liga” season’s foul statistics have revealed a clear difference between "Barcelona” and Madrid’s "Real.”

"Mundo Deportivo” reports this.

So far, "Barcelona” players have drawn 122 fouls from their opponents, while "Real” players have drawn as many as 171. Barcelona themselves have committed 130 fouls, whereas the Madrid side has committed just 102. The overall foul balance is -8 and +69, respectively.

Jude Bellingham has drawn the most fouls from opponents (31). Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius have "received” 23 fouls each. "Barcelona’s” best result belongs to Lamine Yamal, who has drawn 20 fouls.

"Mundo Deportivo” also highlighted the "El Clásico” played on October 25, in which "Barcelona” were recorded as committing 15 fouls, while "Real” committed 11. The publication raises questions about some refereeing decisions against Barcelona players.

Interestingly, "Barcelona,” the league’s most possession-oriented team, rank second-last in terms of fouls drawn. Only "Real Sociedad” have drawn fewer.
