FC Barcelona scores 48 goals in 16 games... 64 years later!

FC Barcelona returned to winning ways in LaLiga and did so in style. The blaugranas visited Son Moix, a stadium that has always been difficult, to face Mallorca, the surprise team of the season, and took the three points with a crushing 1-5. A rout that consolidates the Catalans as the highest scoring team in the five major leagues and allows them to reach a historic record.

And the team managed by Hansi Flick already has 48 goals to its name after playing the first 16 LaLiga games. A figure that they had not reached without Lionel Messi in their squad for 64 years, when the historic team managed by Helenio Herrera, and with figures such as Kubala and Luis Suárez in their ranks, did the same in the 1958-1959 season.

Barça is the highest scoring team in the five major leagues

With these 48 goals, Barça has established itself as the top scoring team in the five major leagues, surpassing, by a significant margin, Bayern Munich (37), Paris Saint-Germain (36), Atalanta (36) and Tottenham (28).

Robert Lewandowski is the main face of this record, being the top scorer in LaLiga with 15 goals, followed by Raphinha who already has 11 goals to his name thanks to his double against Mallorca. In addition, Lamine Yamal (5), Dani Olmo (5), Pedri (3), Pablo Torre (3), Ferran Torres (2), Pau Víctor (2), Frenkie de Jong (1) and Jules Koundé (1) have also scored in these 16 games.
