"However, for all their defensive frailties, Barcelona have certainly produced the goods in the offensive department this season, notably emerging as the second-best attacking team in all of Europe this season. According to data collated by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have netted as many as 91 goals across all competitions this season, trailing only Bayern Munich (106) in total output. The Catalans have comfortably outscored their fiercest European rivals, sitting well ahead of Manchester City (81), PSG (81), and arch-rivals Real Madrid (78)."
"What makes Barcelona's dominance unique is that the team is not entirely reliant on just one player. While Real Madrid relies heavily on Kylian Mbappe (40 goal contributions) and Bayern on Harry Kane (39), Barcelona have democratised their attack. A remarkable eight different Barcelona players have generated more than 10 goals (goals plus assists) this season. Leading this cooperative effort is Lamine Yamal, who sits at the top of the charts with 24 goal contributions (12 goals, 12 assists)."
Barcelona have conceded in 11 straight Champions League matches despite a potent attack. The team scored 91 goals across all competitions, second only to Bayern Munich's 106, and outscored Manchester City, PSG and Real Madrid. Eight different players registered 10 or more goal contributions, more than the five apiece recorded by Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern and PSG. Lamine Yamal led with 24 contributions (12 goals, 12 assists), followed by Fermin López (21) and Marcus Rashford (19). Additional contributors include Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo and Pedri. Only Rashford and Roony Bardghji among forwards avoided injury.
