FC Barcelona continues to show that it has no problem scoring goals in this LaLiga EA Sports season. This statement is not only based on sensations, but also on numbers. Do you want to know what they are? We explain it to you at FCBN
Were there any doubts about how FC Barcelona would start the 2024/25 season under Hansi Flick? Well, the Blaugrana have taken care of dispelling them one by one in the best way possible, winning, scoring goals, and delighting. Consequently, it's no surprise that the Catalan team currently leads LaLiga EA Sports with a perfect start, positioning themselves as the absolute leader after five matchdays, with an impressive record of 15 points from 15 possible (five consecutive victories).
But that's not all; to date, Barça can pride itself on being the highest-scoring team in LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25 after the first five matchdays. The Catalan club currently holds a formidable tally of 17 goals, leaving its closest competitors in the 'top 5' behind: Celta de Vigo in second place with 13 goals, Villarreal CF in third with 11, Real Madrid in fourth with nine, and Atlético de Madrid also with nine goals in fifth.
At this point, FC Barcelona has managed to dominate the scoring charts incredibly. Just look at the race for the 'Pichichi' to get an idea of the control Hansi Flick's team exerts in this aspect, as the top four positions are occupied by Barça players: Robert Lewandowski (4), Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Dani Olmo with three goals each.
FC Barcelona not only leads the scoring records in LaLiga EA Sports
Delving into FC Barcelona's offensive department and the records it leads, the Catalan side also enjoys the top spot in terms of big chances created (24), clearly surpassing their closest rival, Celta de Vigo (18). Furthermore, it's evident that this team could be even more effective in front of goal, why? Because they also top the chart for big chances missed with a total of 13.
Similarly, Barça is the team with the highest possession (63.8%), the most shots on target (19.2), and the most clinical in those shots on target (7.2), making it clear that this squad is improving steadily in the offensive aspect and if they continue this way, they will achieve impressive numbers, at least in the domestic competition. It remains to be seen if they can maintain this relentless pace in other competitions as well.
