As football fans, we have all been fortunate enough to witness action-packed football all around Europe. The emergence of many unexpected teams and their performances have eliminated monotony. Be it Brentford's draw with Liverpool in the Premier League or Sherrif's win over Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Just two months into the start of domestic leagues across the continent, we are already witnessing cutthroat competition everywhere.
In the wake of outdoing each other, each team has put their best foot forward without wasting any time. The same has yielded the best results for these teams. In this article, let us check out the teams across Europe that have fired the highest number of shots so far.
Ranking the top 5 clubs with the most shots per game in Europe’s major leagues this season
#5 Real Madrid (La Liga) — 17
La Liga giants Real Madrid have been undergoing a lot of internal changes since 2018. It all started with Cristiano Ronaldo's departure. It was followed by Zinadine Zidane's exit and his re-entry. They also had to part ways with Raphael Varane to Manchester United and Sergio Ramos' transfer this season to PSG.

This period has been tough for the club and its followers. However, Carlo Ancelotti's second stint seems to have brought an end to all of their problems. Even though the Blancos are yet to completely steady their ship, they have been doing better than ever.
Real Madrid occupy the second spot in the La Liga table as of now, with a game in hand. They also boast the highest number of goals scored along with an impressive goal difference. The Galacticos have scored 22 goals from eight games with an average of 17 shot attempts per match.
#4 Manchester United (Premier League) — 17.3
The world seems to have forgotten the kind of threat Manchester United once were. The most successful English team has endured a rough patch in the recent past. However, the Red Devils seem to be improving gradually and building their way upwards.
The team that was once star-studded lacked big names within their legions. Signing Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane looks like the first step towards glory for the Red Devils.
United occupy the 6th spot in a closely contested Premier League season. Ole Gunnar Solskjær's men have scored a total of sixteen goals from eight games. That means they have found the net twice for 17.3 shots taken.
That same number puts Manchester United among the top teams to have made the highest number of shot attempts.
#3 Manchester City (Premier League) — 17.8
Manchester City have been dominating the Premier League and the stats books for quite some time now. They have an immense squad depth and supreme individual talent. Pep Guardiola's team is considered one of the strongest across the whole of Europe.
City started the 2021-22 season with a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. Thereafter, they marked a superb comeback by scoring 10 goals in subsequent games against Arsenal and Norwich.
Cityzens have run a goal riot on quite a few occasions and they are clear favorites for the title for yet another season. Manchester City brags about an average of 17.8 shots per game.
The Sky Blues' attacking prowess hasn't affected their defense as Manchester City are one of the two teams to have conceded the least number of goals in the Premier League.
#2 Bayern Munich (Bundesliga) — 19.5
Bundesliga is dominated by Bayern Munich by a far greater margin. However, the Bavarians have proven their worth outside Bundesliga as well.
Strong contenders in the UEFA Champions League every year, Bayern Munich have established themselves as one of the most formidable teams in the world. They are the only team other than Barcelona to have won the treble twice.
Bayern Munich are being closely chased by rivals Borussia Dortmund this season in the domestic league. However, with just one point separating the two, Bayern Munich have a goal difference of 21 as opposed to Dortmund's eight.
#1 Liverpool (Premier League) — 20.8
For Liverpool, everything has been going their way this season. Placed behind Chelsea in the Premier League table by just a point, Liverpool are the only team yet to taste a defeat. The Merseysiders have accumulated a total of 22 goals (the most) from just eight matches.
Averaging 20.8 shots per game, the Reds have made a total of 165 attempts towards the goal so far in the Premier League! The impressive stats reflect the form that Jurgen Klopp's team is enduring at the moment. Liverpool have got nothing to worry about and they are marching ahead with confidence.
Liverpool's attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino seem to be back at what they do best. The trio were responsible for helping their club secure the Champions League and the Premier League in back-to-back seasons.
After a mediocre season last term where they finished third, the Reds look determined to compete for the Premier League and the Champions League titles.
