Alright, so I’ve been meaning to dig into the Barcelona 2020/21 season data for a while now. You know, really see what went down, beyond just the headlines. So, I finally carved out some time this weekend to do just that.
First, I needed to find a good source of data. There are tons of sites out there, but I wanted something reliable, and ideally, easy to work with. After poking around a bit, I decided to go get some info. Seemed like a solid choice.
Once I found the right place, I started gathering all the match results. I manually went through each game, noting down the scores, who played, and basic stuff like that. I’m old school like that, prefer to get my hands dirty rather than trusting some automated scraper thingy.
- La Liga matches? Checked.
- Champions League? Got it.
- Copa del Rey? Yep.
Then, I took all this info, game by game, and put it into a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just columns for the date, opponent, competition, result (win, loss, draw), and the score. I wanted to see all of it, and start building an image in my head of how the team played through the session.
Digging into the Details.
Once I had all the matches laid out, I started looking for patterns. Were there periods where they were super strong? Any losing streaks that stand out? Did they perform better at home or away? It was like detective work. I spent hours going over it, marking important matches.
I also wanted to see how individual players did. Who scored the most goals? Who got the most assists? Which players were consistently on the field, and who spent more time on the bench? For this, i search for a site to check the players data. I cross-referenced that with my match data, adding in some extra columns in my spreadsheet for key player stats.
It took a good chunk of my weekend, but by Sunday evening, I had a pretty clear picture of Barca’s 2020/21 season. I could see the ups and downs, the key moments, and the individual contributions. It wasn’t just about the final table, but the whole story of how they got *’s always helpful to write down everything so you don’t miss details.
So all of this was totally worth it. I feel like I understand that season so much better now. This is the most interesting part of sports for me, go behind the curtains.
