Barcelona can’t stop scoring this season, from the defenders to the midfielders to the forwards. It is like a new team under Germany head coach Hansi Flick.
Barcelona are on a goal-scoring spree, and opponents are always assured they will concede more goals while playing against the Catalan side.
The Blaugrana lead the goal chart in La Liga with 71 goals scored; in the UEFA Champions League, the Catalan club leads the goal with 28 goals; in the Copa del Rey, they just won the Spanish Super Cup.
Barcelona Scores 124 Goals in 40 Games
According to OptaJose, Barcelona have scored 124 goals in 40 games this season in all competitions. This is still a shock to the football world, as they didn’t look like it in the early stages of the season because the club’s attacking trio is not as prolific as the attacking options of other European elite clubs.
As a result of this goal-scoring form, Barcelona has set a record for the most by a La Liga side after their first 40 games of a campaign since Real Madrid in 1959/60.
After the match against Real Sociedad, Hansi Flick was asked about the secret to the 124 goals scored in the post-match press conference.
Hansi Flick said: “We always want to play, and the first idea we start with is to attack. We always pass the ball forward, and everyone has the desire to score goals. It’s great that we have this mentality.”
With this formation, the Catalan club seeks to ensure that the dream of winning the treble will be attainable.
