Atlético, the fourteenth team to receive 4 or more goals from Barça this season

The offensive numbers of Hansi Flick's pupils continue to grow. They have already scored 120 goals so far this season, having played 39 games. They generate an average of 3.07 per game. Against Atlético de Madrid, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, they scored 4 more, although they did not end up winning. It is the first time in almost 6 years that they have reached that number of goals and have not managed to win the match. The last time that something like this happened was on April 2, 2019, against Villarreal (4-4).

Another curious fact can be extracted from this first part of the tie. The team led by Diego Pablo Simeone has become the fourteenth to receive 4 or more goals from FC Barcelona this season, adding up all competitions. In this group, the red-and-whites are accompanied by Valladolid, Girona, Villarreal, Young Boys, Sevilla, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Red Star, Mallorca, Barbastro, Betis, Benfica and Valencia. Likewise, the Nervión team, Carlo Ancelotti's men and the Che team have repeated doses.

Barça's thrashings this season

The data is incredible: of the 39 games played, 29 won, Barça has scored 4 or more goals in 16. That is, in 41% of the games, the Blaugrana team has scored four. It can also be said that, of the 29 in which it has won the cat to the water, in 15 it has done so by scoring at least 4 goals, which is 51%. The offensive potential that the Catalan entity has is striking. Especially considering that Hansi Flick has only received the additions of Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo in this area, which add up to 13 contributions between the two of them.

Goal distribution per game (2024/2025)

Despite there still being 3 months of competition left, the The Blaugrana team continues to break scoring records from other seasons. With the 120 scored so far, they have already surpassed the records of 2023/2024 (108), 2022/2023 (112), 2021/2022 (86). They are just one more ball sent into the back of the net away from equalling the numbers achieved in the 2020/2021 campaign, Lionel Messi's last one defending the Blaugrana shirt. The highest figure achieved in the club's history was in the 2011/2012 season: 190 goals in 64 games (2.96 per match). The figure per game is higher this time (3.07). Only the passage of time will be able to reveal what the final total of Flick's first season will be.
