Barça coach Ronald Koeman has a great job ahead of him to 'get' the almost 60 goals per season between Messi and Griezmann

Calendar of FC Barcelona

In the past season, between Leo Messi and Antoinie Griezmann annotated almost 60 goals for the FC Barcelona. A figure importantísima that reaffirms that, although almost all the players marked at least a goal during the campaign, there was dependency in the two forwards, especially in the Argentinian, that finalised his last year like blaugrana with 38 goals in all the competitions (30 in League, 5 in Champions League and 3 in Glass of Rey), in addition to 14 assistances.

By his part, 'Grizzi' annotated 20 targets (13 in League, 2 in Champions, 3 in Glass and 2 in the Supercopa of Spain), with 13 passes of goal to his mates. Between the two, added 58 so many and 27 assistances. To understand the magnitude of the importance that had for the Barça of face to the goal, it is necessary to observe the numbers of the third maximum artilleryman of the past campaign, Ousmane Dembélé, with 11.

By behind, they remained Braithwaite (7), Frenkie of Jong (7) and Ansu Fati (5). The canterano, nevertheless, played only until principles of November, before falling lesionado. They are figures in which now that they are not Messi and Griezmann, Ronald Koeman has to work to improve the efficiency goleadora of his forwards and that the absence of the two 'cracks' do not notice -so much- during this season.

'Sportive world' has done the accounts of what possibly the forwards that continue in the staff go to annotate this season. Ansu Fati, the new '10' of the Barça and the player in which it is put the confidence of all the culés, can add in normal conditions 20 so many by season. Braithwaite, that aims to add more minutes that the past course, can arrive to eight (sum two, up to now).

The culés expect, in any case, the resurección of Philippe Coutinho in the field after his long injury, trusting that the carioca can reach, like minimum, ten so many in this course. As well as the one of Ousmane Dembélé, that could repeat the 11 so many. To this, it is necessary to add the new players blaugrana: Memphis Depay, that could arrive to 18 or more, Agüero (if his physical conditions allow it) other 12 and Luuk of Jong, possibly, 10.

99 goals between eight forwards

If these figures can 'fulfil', the Barça would be taking out a very good quantity of goals, considering the big absences in the forward. The past season were 113 goals in favour (85 in LaLiga, 16 in the Champions League, 4 in the Supercopa of Spain and 10 in the Glass of Rey), by the 49 so many that received against in a total of 48 parties contested.
