Barcelona Smashes Historic Record for First Time Since Messi's Departure

Barcelona's 2025 calendar year delivered an extraordinary 169 goals throughout 60 fixtures—marking the fifth-highest scoring achievement in the club's prestigious history and the finest performance beyond the legendary Lionel Messi era.

A commanding 2–0 triumph at Villarreal enabled Barça to conclude the year with eight consecutive La Liga victories, positioning them to enter the new year holding a four-point lead over Real Madrid.

Hansi Flick's squad will now enjoy some rest as La Liga begins its two-week winter hiatus—a period that will provide recovery time while also offering moments to contemplate how Barcelona emerged as Europe's most formidable attacking force during the German manager's inaugural complete season in charge.

The Catalan powerhouse's relentless offensive display propelled them to their maiden domestic treble, and following a challenging beginning to the 2025–26 season, they have returned to peak form and appear to be Spain's premier team once again.

In contrast to the Messi-era squads that heavily relied on individual brilliance for goals, Flick's current Barcelona roster has generated scoring contributions from across the entire field. Remarkably, Marc Bernal stands as the sole first-team registered player who failed to register a goal this year—having featured in merely 10 matches while recovering from a lengthy injury.
