Barça always a threat from outside the box
Many things can be highlighted about Hansi Flick's Barça. The intense approach, the suffocating pressure in the opponent's half, the possession, and the high defensive line, among others, all of which make FC Barcelona fans proud every match. There is also the fact that the blaugranes are the highest goalscorers across the five major European leagues, and some of the goals account for a very significant stat – the number of goals scored from outside the box – totalling 23 in all competitions as it stands.
Two in the most recent match
The most recent goals the blaugranes scored from outside the area were the two against Villarreal (2-3) at the Estadi Olímpic. Despite the defeat, the game provided the platform to celebrate Barça's 28th league title, and Lamine Yamal and Fermín scored a couple of crackers. The winger scored from his now trademark cut in from the left and curled shot into the far corner with this left foot, while the attacking midfielder hit a volley from centrally outside the box with his weaker foot, two masterpieces.
Out in front
These two outside the box strikes means that's 23 for FC Barcelona in the 24/25 season, the most by any team across the major European leagues. Real Madrid are in second place with 22, followed by Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester City, all with 17.
18/19 season total matched
Those 23 goals mean Hansi Flick's side have equalled Barça's record for the 18/19 season. As such, they could still surpass that figure in the final game of the season that sees FC Barcelona take on Athletic Club at the San Mamés stadium (25 May, kick 9.00pm CEST).
Lamine Yamal most likely
Looking further into who is scoring these goals, one particular name stands out – Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana. Barça's number 19 has scored seven goals from outside the box, meaning he is tied in first place with Mbappé from all the teams across the major European leagues.
The tally provides clear evidence that Hansi Flick's Barça side have no fear. More to the point, this young side are incredibly brave and confident, and FC Barcelona fans can rightly feel very proud of all the joy the team has brought this season.
