Barcelona Perfect in La Liga as Statistics Back Up Seven-Win Start

Hansi Flick's Barcelona have won all seven La Liga matches and lead the league in scoring, possession and a host of other statistical categories.

Barcelona have opened the La Liga season with seven wins from seven matches under manager Hansi Flick, collecting 21 points and scoring 31 goals, an average of 4.2 per game, according to figures reported by AS. The attacking output puts them 15 goals clear of Atletico Madrid, 13 ahead of Real Madrid and 22 ahead of Real Betis.

The numbers extend across the rest of the ledger. Barcelona have recorded 119 shots to Real Madrid's 99 and Atletico's 85, while opponents have managed only 51 shots against them, an average of seven per match, compared with 89 faced by Real Madrid. The Catalans also lead the league in possession at 68 percent and in successful dribbles with 103, narrowly ahead of Real Madrid's 100.

Individual statistics point the same way. Raphinha tops the La Liga scoring chart with 12 goals, with Lamine Yamal on seven, and the Brazilian shares the league lead in assists with four. Pau Cubarsi ranks second in successful passes, Pedri leads the competition in completed passes in the opposition half, and goalkeeper Joan Garcia has been flawless on aerial balls into his area.
