THE League of Thebes remained scoreless at the start of the season. Despite the fact that Barcelona has quite high scoring records, the national championship loses three goals per day compared to last season at this point. Last year, after the 12th day, the League had a total of 334 goals with Girona as the most scoring team with 29 goals, while this year they accumulate 29836 fewer than in 2023-24.
All this despite the fact that Barcelona almost doubled the number of goals compared to the previous seasoneven though he had only scored 24 goals. With the arrival of Hansi Flick, the Catalan club has become a much more successful team. Their 40 goals make them the highest scoring club in the five major leagues with a significant difference to the next team, Bayern Munich, with 32 goals scored in nine matches. Next come Inter Milan and PSG with 29 goals in 11 and 10 matches in Serie A and Ligue 1 respectively.
It should be noted that this year, one less match was playedsince last year, at this time, the Atlético-Seville match was postponed due to the forecast of a storm in Madrid, which was played in December. This season, two Matchday 12 matches were postponed due to DANA, which devastated the province of Valencia and left more than 200 dead, and which also caused the postponement of Che’s team match this weekend .
He Villarreal-Rayo Vallecano and the Valencia-Real Madrid They were postponed last weekend because of DANA. The Castellón players will play their match today, but the Valencian club requested its postponement because “the situation is still very serious”. However, the reality is that although Barca have significantly increased their efficiency in front of goal, the League Tebas have scored fewer goals than last season at this stage.
Barça doubles its goals
The reality is that there is a team, Barcelonathat scores an average of 3.3 goals per game (40 in total) and double the figure of the second highest scoring team, Real Madrid, who scored 21 with a game less. Whites are in last year’s numbers. At this stage, Carlo Ancelotti’s side had 23 goals, but it should be remembered that they have a game in hand, as their match against Valencia last weekend was postponed due to DANA.
The key is Girona and Atlético de Madrid. The Catalans had accumulated 29 goals in 12 games after a spectacular start to the championship, while the red and white team were the second highest scorers, ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona, with a total of 26 goals. This year, Gironí’s team has 15 goals and the Colchoneros 18, making a total of 22 goals less. That’s the big difference. It’s also worth noting that last season there were six teams with 20 or more goals and this year there are only three (Barcelona, Real Madrid and Villarreal).
