Scorers and statistics: X-ray of Barça's 100 goals in 2022-2023
With the 3-0 against RCD Mallorca, FC Barcelona reached the figure of 100 official goals in the 2022-2023 season, with one LaLiga game to play. At FCBN we have been in charge of breaking down the goalscoring journey of Xavi Hernández's men, which has helped them win two titles
The FC Barcelona is to a party to go down the curtain of the season 2022-2023, that has been marked by the changes, revolutions and the return of the titles to the City Condal, with the achievement of LaLiga and Supercopa of Spain. Xavi Hernández has attained to seat the bases of a team that has given back the illusion to the barcelonismo and that 'aim' to go back to give war, also, in Europe. On the way, they have left 100 cries of goal in 52 parties to date, waiting for the visit to Balaídos with which will close the course.
It has not been a season 'perfect' neither much less, but yes has achieved configure a reliable team and that it is able to surpass the difficulties that finds on the way. Especially in the domestic championship, have showed a regularity and defensive capacity few times before sight that have headed to his twentieth seventh title. They come of a very important victory, with goleada included, that has given back the good feelings and confidence.
Precisely against the RCD Mallorca, in the farewell of Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and the Camp Nou, annotated the three targets with which the Barcelona reached the centena. The doublet of Ansu Fati and the goal of Gavi cost for the accounts of the blaugrana, that already surpass with grow the statistics of the 2021-2022, in which they annotated in 86 opportunities in 53 clashes between all the competitions. It supposes an increase of 16% thanks to the contribution of players like Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, those who arrived the past summer to turn into the maxima goleadores of the picture culé.
The ariete Polish, in fact, has turned into the 'king' of the goal in the Spotify Camp Nou, with 33 targets between all the competitions. To fault of a party, registered 33% of all the goals of the blaugrana and will serve him to win his first Pichichi, with 23 in his account, by in front of Karim Benzema (18), Joselu (16) and Borja Churches (15). Although the 2023 has not been so explosive like his first months in Catalonia, in these last weeks has reactivated and recovered his reliability of face to goal. It has been an authentic offensive leader and 'manager' of a lot of victories of the culés.
The difference of Lewandowski with the rest of goleadores
In these last months was more than notorious that the team did not have a dependency goleadora with Lewandowski, but yes that has existed a big difference between the figures that has registered the ex of the Bayern of Munich with the rest of the players. For example, the maximum second artilleryman of the team is Raphinha (10), gone on down Ansu Fati (9) and Ousmane Dembélé (8). It has stood out the wake up goleador of Pedri González (7), whereas it has disappointed the little 'fortune' of face to goal of attackers like Ferran Torres (7).
They are 23 goals of difference of Lewandowski regarding the second goleador, but explains -also- because in a lot of opportunities the Barça saldó the parties with victories by the minimum, something very 'moved away' of the habits of the Barcelona, but that has served of 'resource' for desatascar the most complicated parties: a good defence, that resisted it everything, and take advantage of of the opportunities of gold to move the marker.
In total, went 13 parties in which they won by 1-0 or 0-1, eleven in LaLiga and two in the Glass of Rey, by what in 25% of the presentations of the blaugrana in this season cost of a goal to add three points or, in the case of the tournament of the 'KO' sign the classification to semifinals (in front of the Real Sociedad) or advance in the series, as it happened in Santiago Bernabéu. In the domestic championship was where had more weight, because they were the parties that 'defined' the tournament that, definitely, in previous years the Barça could perfectly empatar or, even, lose.
What himself is true, in any case, is that very few times the Catalans remained without seeing goal, a factor that speaks very well of the insistence of Xavi to the players in that they bet, at all times, to add to the attack. Only in seven opportunities did not annotate a goal (13.4%): 3 in Champions League (Bayern, by double game, and Inter of Milan, in Giuseppe Meazza), 3 in LaLiga (Ray, Almería and Girona) and 1 in Glass of Rey (Real Madrid). Not seeing goal was synonymous to lose, put in five of the above-mentioned parties fell defeated.
The 'curiosities' of the goals of the Barça in the 22-23
The 100 official goals of the Barça in this season have been distributed in 69 in LaLiga, 12 in the Champions League, 11 in the Glass of Rey, 5 in the Supercopa of Spain and three in the Europe League, where played only the previous phase. To fault of the visit to Balaídos, close the course with an average of 1.9 annotations by party. The registers leave several novelties, as that only a target has arrived via penalti (in Old Trafford, converted by Lewandowski) and have signalled two more, in LaLiga, that were failed by the Pole and, also, Ferran Torres.
This wants to say that the ones of Xavi are closing LaLiga without having marked of penalti, something that would seem an authentic madness compared, for example, with the quantity of maximum penalties in favour that has had the Real Madrid. Likewise, in the domestic championship 97% of the goals (67) have arrived of shots inside the area, whereas only two (3%) have been of finish far. It keeps , besides, the negative tradition of not annotating from direct fault a year more. The last achieved it Leo Messi on 2 May 2021 in Mestalla. Since, at all of at all for the culés, although there is good throwers.
In League has not varied a lot the quantity of annotations regarding the parties of venue and visitors. In the Spotify Camp Nou have been 37 the goals in favour, that translated in 48 points, whereas out of house (slopes of what happen in Balaídos) have registered 32 for a total of 40 units added. Yes it has differentiated the quantity of goals fit (4 vs 14 far of the City Condal). There, surely, it has been the key of the blaugrana to complete a season sensacional that has proclaimed them champions.
On the other hand, also it is worth it to highlight that in this campaign have marked 18 different footballers of the first team. In fact, to exception of the goalkeepers, only a player of field has remained without seeing goal: Sergio Busquets. Of rest, all have been able to celebrate at least a target. Can stand out , also, that along the course benefited of two goals against, one in League and another in Glass.
It went down the Barça his quota goleadora?
As we mentioned before, the Barça increased in 16% his registers goleadores regarding the past season, but analysing the figures of the four previous seasons, exists a significant bajón in the figures... Conditioned by the exit of Leo Messi or Luis Suárez, for example? And it is that in the last season of the Argentinian in the City Condal the culés reached the 113 goals in fewer parties (48), in a campaign in which the Argentinian 38 targets between League, Champions, Glass and Supercopa.
A year before, in the 2019-2020 and in full pandemia of the coronavirus, the Catalans reached the 109 goals (50 parties), whereas the registers of the 2018-2019 surpassed the 138 (in 60 presentations) and in the 2017-2018 were 141. They are figures much higher, but what has differentiated to this Barça is that it has fit much less (44) regarding previous seasons. Only in the 17-18 was won less (42).
The goleadores of the Barça in 2022-2023
To continuation, review how have distributed the 100 Barcelona goals in this season. It supposes an important precedent for the next years, in which the players will have to insist much more of face to the goal and not delegating all the obligation to Lewandowski or, besides, expect that Marc-André ter Stegen detain all the occasions of the rivals. With the possible reinforcements for this summer, surely will be possible. In the meantime, we enumerate to all the goleadores of this campaign:
