Barcelona Rewrite UCL Records with Goal Blitz

Barcelona is rewriting the UEFA Champions League record books this season, and the numbers are clear. Under Hansi Flick, the team has scored consistently and is at the top of the competition in scoring averages.

Barcelona has 36 goals in 11 matches after defeating Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the quarter-final first leg. Barca has the highest Champions League goal average ever at 3.27 goals per game.

This puts them over of Flick’s great Bayern Munich team, which set the previous record in 2019/2020 with 3.17 goals per game.

Barcelona’s ability to score in every Champions League game thus far is astonishing. Flick’s side has scored easily at home and away. Barcelona are just as brutal at home. The team has scored at least three goals in every game at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys save the last group-stage draw against Atalanta (2-2).

Nine players have scored. Raphinha and Lewandowski are in a different league.

Raphinha tops the Champions League scoring statistics with 12 goals, although Lewandowski is close behind with 11 after scoring twice against Dortmund. This achievement is made even more special by a Champions League-winning manager.

This Barcelona team has thrived under Flick’s offensive mentality. Flick has again proven his ability to design winning teams with flair and confidence by surpassing his old Bayern team’s scoring average.
