The Wrexham fairytale embarks on its newest and most ambitious chapter yet in 2025/2026.
After back-to-back promotions under Phil Parkinson from National League to EFL League Two in 2022/2023 and then League Two to EFL League One in 2023/24, the Red Dragons have made it a three-peat of promotions in 2024/2025.
This means they’ll compete in England’s second-tier, the EFL Championship, in 2025/2026—just one step away from the glamour of the Premier League, which, perhaps, Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney‘s Hollywood story is inevitably building towards.
Wrexham entered the 2024/2025 campaign with a good squad for the English third-tier, but promotion was far from guaranteed.
Phil Parkinson style of play within the Wrexham 3-5-2 system ensured they got the best out of the talent in their ranks in order to make this season a successful one.
Our Wrexham tactical analysis goes into detail on Phil Parkinson’s Wrexham tactics that got his side out of League One and into the Championship for 2025/2026.
Barcelona faced Real Madrid at the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc, for the 35th fixture of La Liga.
The match ended 4-3 for the Blaugrana.
This was a roller-coaster of goals, especially during the first half.
Barcelona’s outstanding attacking performance was countered by Real Madrid’s efforts to equalise, but unfortunately, Kylian Mbappé’s three goals were not enough for them to keep their title hopes alive.
With this crucial win, Barcelona are getting very close to lifting their 28th La Liga trophy with 82 points so far, while Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid remain in second with 75 points.
In this tactical analysis, we will explore Barcelona’s efficient attacking performance and how they exploited Real Madrid’s defensive mistakes while identifying what went wrong for Los Merengues in both the attacking and defensive phases.
