Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona continues to break offensive records in the 2024/25 season. With the thrashing of Sevilla (1-4), the Blaugrana reached 113 goals in 35 official matches, 3 more than the total scored last season in 53 matches. The team averages 3.22 goals per game, more than one goal above the 23/24 average of 2.07 with Xavi Hernández on the bench (2.07). Furthermore, in 2025, the Catalans are registering their best start in a calendar year in 80 years.
Indeed, since 1943, with Juan José Nogués as coach, Barça had not been able to score 83 goals in their first 11 matches of the year. Barça started 2025 with a 0-4 win against Barbastro in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey. Since then, only Athletic (0-2), Getafe (1-1), Atalanta (2-2), and Alavés (1-0) have escaped a Catalan thrashing. The average so far stands at 3.72 goals per match, with the thrashing of Valencia in La Liga (7-1) being the most significant.
The 'che' team also received a 'five-goal' thrashing in the Copa (0-5), just like Betis (5-1). Real Madrid, in the final of the Supercopa de España (2-5), and Benfica in the Champions League (4-5) also received 5, while Sevilla received another thrashing, this time at home (1-4). In the first leg, the Sevillians suffered their respective 'five-goal' defeat in Montjuïc (5-1), a figure that Barça has reached nine times this season.
Flick's Barça, better than the 2014/15 team with 'MSN'
In this sense, the scoring average of the Catalans invites a historic season that could leave a notable trophy haul in the club's cabinets. The team has already won the Spanish Supercup, is in the 'semis' of the Copa, and has regained control of their own destiny in LaLiga to win the title, with 15 matches left to play and only 2 points behind Madrid. In the Champions League, they await their opponent in the round of 16, with the comfort of closing the tie at home.
In the 2014/15 season, the last time Barcelona won the Champions League and the treble with the legendary 'MSN', Luis Enrique's team started their historic 2015 with 39 goals in their first 11 matches (26 goals in 7 La Liga matches and another 13 in 4 Copa matches). In 2025, the 41 goals scored by the Catalans are distributed among La Liga (13), Copa (14), Supercopa (7), and Champions (7).
