At a record pace: Flick's Barça scores 145 goals and aims for Guardiola's 190

FC Barcelona's thrashing of Borussia Dortmund (4-0) put Hansi Flick's team very close to the semi-finals of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League, a season where the 'Azulgrana' team has been a real blast. In total, the 'Culés' have 145 goals in 48 matches in all competitions. 36 of their goals have been scored in 11 Champions League matches, where the team has 9 wins and 1 draw in their last 10 appearances.

The rest of the goals are divided between La Liga (29), Copa (5) and Spanish Super Cup (2). Robert Lewandowski, with 40 goals, is Barça's top scorer, followed by Raphinha (28). Thus, the team maintains an average of 3.02 goals per match. Flick's team's goals in the season are divided as follows:

• LaLiga: 83 goals in 30 matchdays.
• UEFA Champions League: 36 goals in 11 matches.
• Copa del Rey: 19 goals in 5 matches.
• Spanish Super Cup: 7 goals in 2 matches.

Flick's Barça is 45 goals away from Pep Guardiola's record

For Barça, the record for most goals in a single season is still held by Pep Guardiola's team in his last season. The 2011-12 season closed with 190 goals in 64 matches for the 'Culés', with Leo Messi reaching the impressive amount of 73 goals. Thus, Hansi Flick's team is 45 goals away from this historic record, with 8 La Liga matchdays, the Copa final and the rematch against Dortmund to be played, along with hypothetical Champions League 'semi-finals'.

In total, there would be 12 matches (13 counting a Champions League final) where the team must score an average of approximately 3.5 goals per match. Closer are the records reached by Luis Enrique in 2014-15 (175 goals) and 2016-17 (180), both seasons with the mythical 'MSN' formed by Messi, Suárez and Neymar in attack. Now, the 'LRL' made up of Lamine, Raphinha and Lewandowski is doing the same, even equaling the 27 goals that the South American trio scored a decade ago in Champions League.

The three highest-scoring seasons for Barça in its history:

1. 2011-12: 190 goals: Under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, Barça achieved this record figure in 64 official matches in all competitions. Lionel Messi was the main protagonist with 73 goals, leading a team that stood out for its attacking football and won four titles: Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
2. 2016-17: 180 goals: With Luis Enrique on the bench, the team scored 180 goals in 60 official matches. This season included the historic 6-1 comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey title. The trident formed by Messi, Suárez and Neymar was key in this goalscoring campaign.
3. 2014-15: 175 goals: Also led by Luis Enrique, this season Barça scored 175 goals in 60 matches. It was an exceptional year, as the team achieved its second treble in history. Messi, Suárez and Neymar, in their first season together as the famous 'MSN', scored 122 goals between them.
