Two away from goal 5,000

Berta Brau


Barça carry on scoring and getting nearer goal number 5,000, thanks mainly to the work of Henry, Eto’o and Messi, who between them account for 71% of the team’s goals.


Barça are getting close to the 5,000 league goals mark, and after the four scored against Numancia, the Blaugranes, they are now just two away. This target has had a great boost this season, with 63 league goals so far.

Key scorers

Henry, Eto’o and Messi are mainly to thank for this, and with 45 goals between them, account for 71% of the team’s goals. Of the three strikers, Eto’o has 19, Messi 14, and Henry 12, and they are also among the top scorers in the league, with Eto’o number one.

Scoring average

Eto’o and Henry: 4 games and 4 goals

_J2N0200.jpgBoth the Cameroon player and the Frenchman have been unstoppable in 2009. Eto’o has four goals from as many games (one against Osasuna, two against Deportivo and one against Numancia), and Henri has the same average (one against Mallorca, two against Osasuna and one against Numancia).

Messi

The blaugrana number 10 has also scored three goals in three cup games, which also gives him a one-per-game average.

Goal 5.000 in the Nuevo Sardinero?
Barça are geared up to get goal 5,000 next Sunday in El Nuevo Sardinero against Racing Santander. Curiously, Parera scored Barça’s first ever Spanish League goal there on February 12th 1929.
