According to a report by Barca Universal on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Barcelona have achieved something remarkable after 11 games of the La Liga season, with their goal differential underscoring the offensive prowess they have enjoyed under manager Hansi Flick.
Despite defeats to Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain, the Catalan giants have maintained their league dominance through consistent, high quality attacking play. They have scored 46 goals in their first eleven league matches an average of over four per game placing them among the most dangerous offensive sides in Europe.
Barcelona boast an impressive goal differential of +34 despite conceding 12 times, reportedly the highest figure ever recorded after 11 matchdays, though records from the competition's early years may be incomplete. Either way, Flick's team have accomplished something truly notable by building such a significant lead so early in the campaign.
Their momentum was disrupted by a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid, following another disappointing performance against PSG, raising questions about whether they could sustain their remarkable form. However, Flick's squad responded emphatically by thrashing Deportivo Alaves 6-1. Raphinha and Lamine Yamal each scored twice, while Anthony Gordon and Fermin Lopez also found the net, getting Barcelona back on track and demonstrating that their attacking players have rediscovered the form that made them league champions.
If they continue scoring at this rate, their goal differential could widen further. Now in a stronger position with their title ambitions reinforced, Barcelona turn their attention to Atletico Madrid. Despite the daunting task of playing away at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, they will look to carry their renewed confidence into the match and produce another show-stopping performance.
