The best attack in the competition
FC Barcelona averages almost 4 goals per game in the Champions League
The team led by Hansi Flick has scored 26 goals during the championship and is, by a difference of 7, the one that has scored the most
FC Barcelona is a goal-scoring machine. This season they have already scored 99 goals in 31 games, which generates an average of more than 3 goals per game. They are the highest-scoring team in La Liga, with 52, above Real Madrid's 47. They remain in the top spot despite their numbers having dropped considerably in the last two months. Likewise, they are the team that has scored the most goals in the Champions League with 26.
The scoring rhythm of the team managed by Hansi Flick is very difficult to follow, especially in the top European competition. The 26 balls sent into the back of the net in 7 games generate an average of 3.71. The club that comes closest to the figure of the Catalan club is Borussia Dortmund, which has 19. In third place is Atalanta, the last rival of the Catalans in the first phase of the Champions League, which has scored 18. The difference is very large.
The truth is that FC Barcelona's figures in Europe are very striking. They have only scored less than 3 goals in the opening match of the competition, which they lost to Monaco (2-1). In the rest of the matches they have scored 3, 4 or 5 goals; regardless of the calibre of their opponent. They have scored thrashings both against Young Boys, bottom of the league with 0 points, and Bayern Munich, their great black beast until this season.
- Monaco 2-1 FC Barcelona; Matchday 1
- FC Barcelona 5-0 Young Boys; Matchday 2
- FC Barcelona 4-1 Bayern Munich; Matchday 3
- Red Star 2-5 FC Barcelona; Matchday 4
- FC Barcelona 3-0 Stade Brestois; Matchday 5
- Borussia Dortmund 2-3 FC Barcelona; Matchday 6
- Benfica 4-5 FC Barcelona; Matchday 7
Although they have conceded 11 goals in the 7 matches played so far in the tournament, the goal difference is positive and higher than that of all the participants (+15). In this respect, Atalanta is the closest behind (+14). The Bergamo side have scored 18 goals and conceded 4, 3 of them against Real Madrid in a single match. This is proof that the last matchday of the Champions League league phase will not be a formality, but a high-level encounter.
