According to reports, the team under Hans-Dieter Flick has had an outstanding attacking performance this season, scoring 147 goals in 50 official matches (an average of 2.94 goals per game), showcasing one of the best offensive lines. In La Liga, they scored 84 goals, 37 in the Champions League, 19 in the Copa del Rey, and 7 in the Spanish Super Cup.

These statistics highlight Barcelona’s high potential to reach historic records like the 169 goals in the 2016-17 season or even the 175 goals in the 2014-15 season, though the gap with the 190 goals under Pep Guardiola in the 2010-11 season remains significant.

However, in the last five matches, Barcelona’s scoring average has dropped to 1.6 goals per game. The high-scoring 4-0 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League quarterfinals was the only bright spot in this period. In other matches, including a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey, a 1-1 draw with Real Betis, a narrow victory against Leganes, and a 3-1 loss to Dortmund, Barcelona has struggled to score consistently. Raphinha, one of the attacking stars, has not scored in La Liga since February 9 and has also faced injuries.

The return of Dani Olmo, a creative and prolific scorer, is crucial for upcoming key matches like the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid and the Champions League semifinals against Inter Milan. His absence due to injury has had a clear negative impact on the team’s attacking power.

With 8 goals and 5 assists in 29 matches, Olmo has the ability to create chances and strengthen the attack, allowing Flick to rotate players and maintain squad fitness. In La Liga, with Real Madrid focusing on domestic competition after their European exit, Barcelona must regain its scoring form with Raphinha’s resurgence and Olmo’s contributions.
