  • Only 2 of Barca’s 5 centre-backs are taller than 1.9m.
  • Koeman laments it and says that’s the reason why Barca’s defending at set-pieces is far from perfect.

“We’re not good at set-pieces because we don’t have many tall players,” Ronald Koeman has said at the latest press conference.

Among all Barca’s centre-backs, only Gerard Pique (1.91m) and Ronald Araujo (1.91m) are more than 1.9m tall.

Interestingly, Barca’s transfer target Eric Garcia is just 1.83m tall and isn’t really good at winning headers.
