Cardiff City FC
Cardiff City FC

The document provides statistics on shots, goals, possession, passing, and defending from top European football leagues in the 2012-13 season. Some key findings include: - The top scoring teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid had balanced approaches to scoring rather than relying mainly on any one tactic like counterattacks. - Central midfielders like Messi, Iniesta, and Mata provided many assists, emphasizing the importance of midfielders opening up defenses. - Top possession teams like Barcelona and Bayern Munich also defended well and were champions, indicating a link between possession and success. - League champions tended to have the best attacks, defenses, or both rather than weaker in either category.
