They have racked up 22 goals in five matches, just one shy of the 23 managed in that historic term. Across the club&#8217;s entire annals, only two seasons have yielded a higher tally: 1924-25 and 1925-26, with 24 goals apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Context is crucial when bridging the eras. In 1924-25 and 1925-26, teams competed exclusively in the Copa del Rey, with the league not established until 1928 whereas the 1950-51 goal glut came entirely in Liga action, featuring ruthless results such as an 8-2 thrashing of Real Sociedad and a 7-2 demolition of Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flick has eclipsed virtually every attacking milestone in the club&#8217;s modern history, trailing only exploits from the black-and-white era. Crucially, he has shattered his own benchmarks and all others from the 21st century, comfortably surpassing Barcelona&#8217;s previous best modern opening of 17 goals in 2024-25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona are showcasing extraordinary attacking firepower this term, with Hansi Flick&#8217;s men racking up 22 goals across their<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2108"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2110,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2108\/revisions\/2110"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
