Barcelona are enjoying life under new(ish) boss Hansi Flick and remain in contention on all fronts this season.
The team's intense style and high line has been a feature of their play and has seen attackers Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski plunder all kinds of goals.
Pedri has also been key and has managed to shrug off the injury problems that have dogged him previously.

A look at the stats also offers some interesting detail.
Barcelona head into the current gameweek having played one game less than (almost) all the other teams in La Liga. However, they still lead the way when it comes to sprints with 14,367 recorded in their 26 matches league games so far.
They also sit second in high-speed sprints (on 6,872) behind only Rayo Vallecano (7,092), according to ESPN.
A deeper look shows Barça average 264.3 high-speed sprints per game. And this is where it gets interesting - as that’s up from 230.2 last season and a massive increase from a low point of 199.6 in 2019-20.
When it comes to individuals it's perhaps no surprise that Raphinha leads the way.

The brilliant Brazilian boasts a total of 990 high speed sprints in La Liga so far this season - that’s an average of 38.08 per game and an increase of 23.79 from last year.
Up next is Jules Kounde on 786 followed by Alejandro Balde on 725, while fourth place goes to Pedri on 502. The midfielder averages 20.24 per game, that’s up from 13.75 last year.
Interesting stuff and one of many reasons why Barca are still fighting on three fronts this season.
