Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona are scoring goals in spades. In just 12 LaLiga games, the Blaugrana have already scored 40 goals. If they maintain these figures, the Catalans are expected to finish the season with 127 goals to their name, thus surpassing the historic record held by José Mourinho's Real Madrid, who scored 121 goals in the tournament in the 2011/12 season.
That merengue team, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuaín and Karim Benzema, managed to 'dethrone' Pep Guardiola's 'invincible' Barça until then. Under the orders of the Portuguese coach, the Madrid trident scored 89 of the team's 121 total goals, led by 'CR7' who celebrated 46 goals in that championship. This is where the Catalans' bar is.
Flick's Barça could surpass Luis Enrique's
In addition, they could also surpass the mark that Luis Enrique's Barça reached in the 2016/17 season. With the Asturian on the bench and Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr. and Luis Suárez on the pitch, the Catalans scored 116 goals that season, a figure that could be surpassed by Flick's team this year.
And at this stage of the season, with 12 games played, only in the 50/51 campaign had it scored more goals than now, specifically two more. The impressive success in front of goal of players such as Robert Lewandowski (14), Raphinha (7), Lamine Yamal (5) and Dani Olmo (5) has been the key to the club's scoring streak. A streak that, if maintained, could culminate in a historic record in Spanish football.
