Here is a comparison of Barca and Bayern this season in their respective leagues, both in attack and defense:
We can see that in attack they outperform us in all aspects, bar one "Box Cross%" (Some explanation about this: it shows what percentage of ball exchange in the box are crosses, rather than passes. The model assumes the lower the better, because crosses are less effective than passes)
In defense, things are more balanced. It seems we are better in conceding less clear-cut chances, but they are better in aggression and pressing.
One problem is that this graph takes into account Kovac's Bayern as well as Ernie's Barca.
I would rather see the numbers of only Flick's Bayern VS only Serien's Barca
