Barça is an infallible 'machine' in Montjuïc
After scoring just one goal in the defeat against Monaco on the first matchday, Barça have put their foot on the accelerator and have not let go since.

The Catalans then visited Rajko Mitic to face Red Star and beat them 2-5, confirming their status as a 'steamroller' against Brest last Tuesday (3-0). In total, 12 goals at home and six away to become the highest scoring team in the Champions League (18), with a comfortable advantage of five goals over Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, second in the scoring table with 13 goals.
Robert Lewandowski is the face of this record, scoring 7 of the 18 goals, followed by Raphinha, who already has five goals to his name thanks to his hat-trick against Bayern. Iñigo Martínez is the team's surprise scorer with 2 goals, while Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo and Fermín López all have one goal.
