Hansi Flick has made FC Barcelona a true goal-scoring machine. He has now scored 120 goals in 39 matches, which generates an average of 3.07 per game. He scored 4 goals against Atlético de Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final. There are now 14 teams that have conceded 4 or more goals from the German coach's pupils. With the figures collected this season, he has already surpassed the records of the 2023/2024 (108), 2022/2023 (112), 2021/2022 (86) seasons. He is just one more ball sent into the back of the net away from equalling the figure of 2020/2021, the last with Leo Messi defending the Barça shirt.
The best scoring season in Barça's history is 2011/2012. With Pep Guardiola in the last phase of his cycle as Blaugrana coach, 190 goals were reached in 64 games (2'96 p.p.). In that season, the Catalan club played in 6 competitions: La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup. Of the 6 trophies at stake, 4 ended up in the culés' showcases. Only the domestic championship and the top continental team tournament escaped them.
Flick's Barça vs Guardiola's in 2011/2012
The reality is that the team led by the man from Santpedor has the advantage of, in addition to being able to count on Messi, having played more games (64). Flick's Barça have played 39 games so far, and are guaranteed 17 more, which will mean reaching 56, and could reach 62 if they reach the finals of the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. However, so far, the comparison is won by the current team, which has 120 goals in 39 games. In the same number of games, Guardiola's men had scored one goal less, 119.
Likewise, the scoring average of the men led by the German coach is 3.07. Thus, it exceeds that of Guardiola's men in the same number of games (3.05) and that which they achieved at the end of the 2011/2012 campaign (2.96). This gives great value to the work of the Heidelberg coach, who is achieving figures that have not been seen for a long time in his first season in the city of Barcelona. Furthermore, the only players to have been Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo in the attacking squad, who have scored 13 goals between them.
There are still 3 months left in the current campaign. It is still too early to draw conclusions, as the stage that will determine the titles is still to come. However, this type of data serves to assess the work that has been done so far. Hansi Flick's project is serious and is advancing at an unwavering pace. The Catalans have reason to be excited.
