A club that has Lionel Messi in the team will always be full of goals and as such, it is not a wonder that Barcelona have lit up Europe once again this season. They are already in the Copa del Rey finals, have secured a place in the UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals and are miles ahead at the top of the table in the league. They have already won the Supercopa at the start of the season.

Much of their success is because they have been scoring for fun this season. Barcelona have scored 73 goals from 28 games this season, averaging around 2.6 goals per game. They have scored 3 goals or more 13 times in the league and have amassed a total of 113 goals from 45 games in all season! While Suarez and Dembele have been good, Barcelona have been riding the genius of Lionel Messi once more this season.
The Argentinean has scored 29 goals from 26 appearances in the league and 39 goals from 37 games in all competition. With him in the team, the La Liga Giants have gone from strength to strength this season. They are averaging 16.2 shots per game so far and have scored the third most league goals in Europe so far.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
