Barcelona’s attacking prowess under coach Hansi Flick is reaching new heights, keeping the team competitive on all fronts. After scoring five against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, five more against Benfica in the Champions League, and a stunning seven-goal display against Valencia in La Liga, the Catalan giants are proving unstoppable.

Even during the era of Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, and Neymar, Barcelona never recorded such dominant numbers. The current attacking trio of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal has been instrumental in this resurgence.

Flick achieved a milestone in Sunday’s 7-1 thrashing of Valencia, becoming the second-fastest Barcelona coach to reach 100 goals, accomplishing the feat in 32 games. Only Helenio Herrera did it quicker, in 31 matches in the 1950s. Flick surpassed Luis Enrique and Tito Vilanova, who needed 34 games, and Pep Guardiola, who reached the mark in 37.

“I admire my team’s hunger,” Flick said. “They don’t stop at 2-0 or 3-0; they fight until the final whistle. That’s the mindset we need to win trophies.”

Barcelona has scored at least five goals in four of its last five matches, including a 5-4 comeback win over Benfica and decisive victories over Real Betis and Real Madrid. Lewandowski leads the top scorers in Europe’s top five leagues with 29 goals, ahead of Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and teammate Raphinha.

In La Liga, Barcelona has netted 59 goals in 21 games, nine more than second-placed Madrid. They also lead in Champions League scoring with 26 goals in seven matches. Barcelona is in the Champions League last 16, the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, and sits third in La Liga, seven points behind Madrid.
