Barcelona Smash 82-Year Goal Record in Dominant Sevilla Victory

Barcelona Thrash Sevilla 4-1 to Continue Blistering Form

Barcelona sent a clear message to the rest of La Liga with a commanding 4-1 victory over Sevilla on Sunday night. Under Hansi Flick, the Catalan giants have rediscovered their attacking prowess, netting an astonishing 41 goals across all competitions in 2025 a record-breaking tally for this stage of the year, surpassing a mark set in 1943.

Hansi Flick's Side Back in the Title Race

After a shaky end to 2024, which saw Barcelona stumble into the winter break following a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid, Flick remained resolute.

"That's how we want to play," the German coach stated. "We have to take this into next year and get better results."

Barcelona has done exactly that. Unbeaten in their first 11 matches of 2025, they are now just two points behind league leaders Real Madrid, who dropped points in a 1-1 draw against Atletico over the weekend. Even Diego Simeone has acknowledged Barcelona as the best team in Spain right now.

Barcelona's Relentless Attack Leaves Rivals in the Dust

The Blaugrana’s attacking firepower has been on full display, with five or more goals scored in five different matches this year. For comparison, Real Madrid with their star-studded frontline of Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Junior, Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham has only managed to reach that milestone four times all season.

Madrid have already felt the full force of Barcelona’s resurgence, suffering a humbling 5-2 defeat in the Supercopa de España final.

Record-Breaking Goal Tally and Shared Scoring Responsibility

A remarkable 12 different players have found the net for Barcelona in 2025, showcasing the squad's depth. Robert Lewandowski leads the charge with eight goals, while Raphinha has enjoyed a resurgence, bagging seven.

This goal-scoring spree echoes a historic season in 1943 when Barcelona, led by Joan Josep Nogués, also saw a widespread contribution from 13 different players. Back then, legendary striker César Rodríguez was emerging as a club icon, but it was Mariano Martín who truly stole the show, scoring over a fifth of the team’s total goals.

Martín’s impact was undeniable, including a brace in a thrilling 5-5 draw with Real Madrid. However, his career was tragically cut short by a severe knee injury later that decade, robbing him of his prime at just 24 years old.

Can Barcelona Maintain This Momentum?

With their historic goal tally, unbeaten streak, and growing momentum, Barcelona have reasserted themselves as genuine title contenders. The La Liga race is heating up, and with Flick’s side firing on all cylinders, Real Madrid’s lead at the top is anything but secure.

One thing is certain, Barcelona are back, and they mean business.
