In a remarkable display this season, FC Barcelona have scored an impressive 43 goals despite the departure of key strikers Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Marcus Rashford. These three forwards were responsible for 54 goals in the 2025/26 campaign before leaving the Catalan club last summer.
Barcelona’s efforts to strengthen their attack during the summer transfer window were met with challenges. The club made significant attempts to sign Julian Alvarez, though the Argentine ultimately remained with Atletico Madrid. Additional pursuits to bring in forwards such as Lautaro Martinez and Harry Kane also fell through, leaving Gabriel Jesus as the only late addition to Hansi Flick‘s attacking lineup.
Best start in decades
Under Flick’s guidance, Barcelona has achieved their most prolific start to a season in decades, averaging 4.3 goals per game across their first 10 matches—eight in La Liga and two in the Champions League. This scoring rate marks the highest for any La Liga team at this stage since the 1959/60 season.
The recent midweek victory over Galatasaray in the Champions League elevated Barcelona’s total to 43 goals in the opening ten fixtures, marking their best start in a century. The only season surpassing this was 1926-27, when Barça netted 47 goals in the same number of matches.
Leading the charge is Raphinha, who has scored 14 goals so far, followed by young talents Lamine Yamal with 8 goals and Fermín López contributing 5 goals.
