A visual showing a team's passing patterns - where players receive the ball and who they pass to. You can see the structure of play: who's the hub, which partnerships connect most, where the team builds. Average position maps show where players spent their time, while pass networks show the connections. Analysts use them to understand how teams function.
Barcelona's pass maps in the Guardiola era showed Busquets as the central hub, with almost every attacking move flowing through him. The ball would circulate through him more than any other player on the pitch.
