#3. FC Barcelona

The Catalan giants maintain their stand as one of the best teams in Europe in terms of ball possession

The real progenitors of possession-based football, Catalan giants, FC Barcelona ruled the football world with their famous tiki-taka system, revolutionizing the game and winning an unbelievable 14 trophies under the guidance of Pep Guardiola between 2008 and 2012.

Although many changes have taken place at the club following the departure of the current Manchester City boss, with some of his successors adopting a more direct style at the Nou Camp, the Catalans still remain one of the best possession-dictating clubs on the continent at the moment.

With an average of 61.9 % ball possession per game across all competitions so far during the term, the La Liga champions currently rank third among the most efficient possession-loving clubs on the continent so far as they continue their push for the treble this term.
