Barca are LaLiga’s top scorers
If there is one thing that Barcelona fans can be sure of ahead of the rest of the season, then their side can score goals. The Catalan club are La Liga’s top scorers this season with 67 goals and are some of Europe’s most productive teams. Only problems from behind prevented them from breaking ahead in LaLiga this season. With ten league fixtures, Quique Setien finds himself with many attacking talents at his disposal. Luis Suarez recovered from knee problems. But he could not get a start on Saturday ahead of Leo Messi, Antoine Griezmann, or Martin Braithwaite. The 4-0 victory over Real Mallorca was an example of how Barcelona hosted an exhibition at Son Moix.
That victory will serve as the confidence of the Blaugrana – until Saturday. They scored only 18 goals in 13 away games in LaLiga of this campaign. Arturo Vidal scored the first of four against Mallorca, and his late races from the middle of the field are an asset to the team. The Chilean, along with Braithwaite and Ansu Fati, can relieve assists on the MSG trident Messi, Suarez, and Griezmann. Such are the range of Setien’s options, and it’s hard to predict who will start in the attack on the next Barcelona game against Leganes.
