Key stat shows how quickly Hansi Flick's Barca destroys teams this season

It takes Hansi Flick's Barcelona team an average of 31 minutes in the first half to score a goal against their opponents, stats have revealed.

Barcelona have scored 34 goals in La Liga this season and 17 of those goals have come in the first half.

The ability to stun teams into silence early in the game is probably why Barcelona are arguably the most difficult team to face in La Liga and why they are top of the league by October.

Barcelona went into the international break with a 3-0 win against Deportivo Alaves. The Blaugrana are firm favourites to dethrone Real Madrid as Spanish Champions in May.
