Barcelona has started the season in ruthless form, netting an impressive 28 goals across just six La Liga matches, averaging 4.66 goals per game. Seven of those came in yesterday’s dominant victory over a beleaguered Racing side.
The visitors tried to fight back but were repeatedly overwhelmed by Barcelona’s relentless attack. Rafinha was the star of the show with a hat-trick, although two of his goals came from penalties. It’s difficult to imagine any team capable of standing up to the current Barcelona squad.
