Barça's thrashing of Mallorca (0-3) on matchday 1 of LaLiga EA Sports is a reflection of what Flick's team has done in the preseason
FC Barcelona started the season on the right foot by thrashing Mallorca in their first appearance in LaLiga (0-3). In the last five matches, four friendlies and one official, the team led by Hansi Flick maintains the 'healthy' habit of crushing every opponent in front of them.
From their first match of the Asian tour against Vissel Kobe (1-3) to the league debut against RCD Mallorca, Barça has scored 23 goals, an outstanding figure, averaging 4.6 goals per game.
Barça has had four thrashings this summer
The summer of 2025 has been spectacular for Barça. In their last four appearances, the Blaugrana club thrashed, including friendlies. The most recent victims were FC Seoul (3-7), FC Daegu (0-5), Como (5-0) and RCD Mallorca (0-3).
Lamine Yamal is the top scorer in this period of time, with 5 goals in the same number of matches. He is followed by Gavi and Ferran Torres, who have scored 3 goals so far.
On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski, Fermín López and Raphinha scored 2 goals; while Pedro Fernández 'Dro', Roony Bardghji, Andreas Christensen, Marcus Rashford, Toni Fernández have appeared once in the scoreboards so far.
Barça has left good numbers as a visitor. They have only played 1 of their last 5 matches, between official and friendly, as a local, which was when they received Como for the Joan Gamper Trophy (5-0). Their next matches will be away, against Levante and Rayo Vallecano, respectively, two rivals of lower hierarchy, but to be careful with for the culés.
Barça aims to surpass its goal average from last season
FC Barcelona is exciting with the goalscoring record of the preseason matches and the thrashing against the Vermellones. One of the challenges that Hansi Flick's team has is to maintain that rhythm of forcefulness to surpass the goal average of the last season, which was 2.68 goals per game (102 goals scored in 38 matches) in 24/25.
The statistic of goals per match that the Blaugrana team has since the summer doubles the goal average of 24/25, it is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the goalscoring start of the summer. The Blaugrana team has good pieces in attack and a Lamine Yamal who is living a splendid moment. Will 25/26 be a campaign to break records?
