Firepower Kings! Barcelona Score 22 Goals in 5 Games, 11 Players Contribute; Raphinha Creates 9 Goals and Yamal Creates 7

On September 10 Beijing time, in the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League, Barcelona defeated Feyenoord 5-1. With that result, Barcelona have scored a total of 22 goals in their first five matches of the new season (four La Liga matches and one Champions League match), leading Europe in attacking output and earning the label of 'firepower kings.'

This marks the first time since the 1959-60 season that Barcelona have scored at least 22 goals in their first five competitive matches of a season. (Barcelona also scored 22 goals in their first five matches that season.)
