FC Barcelona, a master of long-range shooting in the 2024/25 season

The FC Barcelona has shown in the 2024/25 season that its game goes beyond possession and passing. Under the guidance of Hansi Flick, the team has evolved into a more versatile and effective style, adapting to the circumstances of each match and demonstrating a tactical intelligence that sets it apart in the current football landscape.

A long-range shooting arsenal

One of the most notable characteristics of the Barça this season is its ability to score from long distance. This resource, which was previously not fully exploited, has become one of the team's main weapons. To date, the Catalan club has achieved a total of 23 goals from outside the box across all competitions, far surpassing the 11 goals from the previous year.

This impressive record places Barcelona at the top of the list of European teams in terms of long-range goals, ahead of giants like Real Madrid (22 goals) and Bayern Munich (17 goals).

Lamine Yamal, the new icon of long-range goals

Among the protagonists of this new offensive facet is Lamine Yamal, who has scored seven goals from outside the box, becoming the top scorer in this aspect among players in the five major European leagues, alongside Kylian Mbappé. His ability to execute powerful and precise shots has made him a constant threat to rival defenses.

Yamal's signature play, where he cuts inside from the right wing to unleash an unstoppable shot, has left its mark in recent matches, as evidenced by his goals against RCD Espanyol and other rivals.

A path towards records

The 23 goals from outside the box of the current Barça equal the record of Barcelona in the 2018/19 and 2016/17 seasons, demonstrating that the team is on a path towards history. With a more dynamic and effective game, Barça positions itself as one of the most feared teams in Europe, and its ability to adapt and evolve is a clear indication of its ambition to reclaim glory in world football.
