“Atletico is a fantastic team. They defend themselves well,” admitted Barcelona Manager Hansi Flick after traveling to Madrid on Sunday evening. “But my team was the better team today.”
Barcelona did not look better for a large part of the league seat of this weekend than Atletico Madrid. Less than 20 minutes remained when the Catalans began to push forward.
Robert Lewandowski halved the deficit six minutes before the level of Ferran Torres. The score was still 2-2 when the match was ticking into added time when Yamal pushed the ball on his left foot and exceeded a distracted shot about the helpless Jan Oblak.
The characteristic change of direction that Conor Gallagher crawled on the metropolitano lawn Whoscored. No other player in the five best leagues in Europe broke three -digit numbers, and Jeremy Doku in Manchester City is a distant second at 88 a.m.
Torres added a fourth to Atletico to emphasize three points, which leads Barcelona to the La Liga summit. The Catalan giants now score 132 goals in all competitions in just 43 games. When Flick’s team progresses to the final of the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, they will remain a maximum of 18 games – you should end an average of more than three goals per game per game with a disgusting total number of 187.
The record for most club goals in a single season already takes place from Barcelona when a team under the direction of Pep Guardiola 2011/12 scored 190 goals. Lionel Messi made 73 of this route.
Yamals free flowing iteration of Barcelona may not quite exceed her productive predecessors, but they could record a more memorable campaign. The Tor-Gobbler 2011/12 took second place in Real Madrid in La Liga and were unloaded by Chelsea from the semi-finals of the Champions League.
This year’s Barcelona is still in the race for a European heights that sits the top of the La Liga, the Champions League favorites and the Copa del Rey semi-final. Flick’s side is again against Atletico Madrid in the last four Spanish domestic cups with a total value of 4: 4 after a typical chaotic first leg. It remains to be seen whether Barcelona will be the better team in this draw, but the goals are almost guaranteed.
