The barca is about to pass Realne '%s' to La Ligas' history.

Barcelona's first match in 2020, against Espanyoli, at “Cornà - El Prat” (at 9: 00 p.m.) will have particular interest in both the scores and the number of goals that Barca can score in the mates of Catalonia. Ernesto Valverde's team, depending on what will happen in Getafe-Real Madrid, which will be played on the same day (16:00), can preparase the royal team as far as the total number of goals will be scored in the Spanish football elite.

At the moment, the difference is in favour of “Los Blancos”, with just one finalization, (6137/13136).

Early in La Ligas, in the 1928-1929 season, Real Madrid began to gain advantage in this game chapter, although Barca recovered ground in 1930-1935 to launch her great rival between 1935 and 1947.

Barca's team, however, improved the machine of goals, and between 1947-1960, was very close to Real thanks to the great attackers, such as César, Kubala, Moreno, Manchón, Basra, Tejada, etc. Villoverde, Louis Suárez, Eulogio Martínez, Evaristo, Czibor, Kocsis, and others took advantage of Real Madrid, taking advantage of 43 goals that prevailed more than rivals in the 1953-1954 season.

In the 1960-1961 season, Real Madrid again preceded Barca, who returned her hegemonia to next year, 1961-1962. The following, however, and until now, Real Madrid's domination has been absolute. The biggest gap was reached with 139 goals at the end of the campaign 1989-1990, when <x0 Madrid Real of “Quinta del Vulture” (Butragueno, Sanchís, Rafael Martín Vázquez, Míchel and Miguel Pardeza) exceeded for the first time the number of 100 goals in the season in La League.

Johann Cruyff's dream team, with its commitment to total football, began to lower the gap. When the Dutch coach left at the end of the 1995-1996 season, he made a difference in -79.

With Josep Guardola on the bench (2008-12), the gap continued to decrease (-69). From then on, Barca gradually recovered the remaining difference. At the end of last season (2018-19), Barca, champion of La Ligas with Ernesto Valverden on the bench, scored 27 goals more than Real Madrid (90-63).

Even during the current season, up to this point in the championship, “bugrans” have scored 14 goals more than “Los Blancos” (47-33). This is the price you pay in “Santiago Bernabeu” after allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to Juvenous. Portuguese provided the Madrillians about 50 goals a year.

The presence of Leo Messes on the Barca team, especially since 2008, when it begins to score at a mad pace, has been essential to lowering the target goal difference. Argentina, since joining the first team, has scored 432 goals in La League, so it's the best goalist in the history of the Spanish championship.

Leo Messi's first official match in Barcelona's ranks was exactly at an Espanyol-Barca (0-1), held on 16 October 2004, at the “Montjuïc” Stadium. /SS/
