Top clubs maintained their dominance with several goals in 2022, but there were several surprises in various categories. Some of the teams have been scoring regularly, which has aided their respective causes. It’s been a fun year to watch in 2022, with a lot of clubs displaying consistency in front of goals.
Here, are the top 5 clubs with the most goals in 2022:
5. Marseille
Marseille’s chances of closing the 12-point gap between themselves and league leaders Paris Saint-Germain are slim to none. Having said that, they had a fantastic 2021-22 season.
After a convincing win over PAOK Salonika, they advanced to the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals. Marseille has scored 42 goals in all competitions so far in 2022, and they are looking excellent.
Dimitri Payet has been a crucial player for them in terms of goal-scoring and goal-creation. In 40 games in all competitions this season, he has 14 goals and 12 assists. In 2022, he scored three goals and added two assists. Marseille could win the UEFA Europa Conference League this season if they can improve their consistency.
4. Chelsea
Chelsea was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League in the quarter-finals after losing 5-4 on aggregate against Real Madrid. Despite winning the second leg 3-3 at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Blues put up a valiant fight and were unlucky.
While their form has been variable this season, they have been relatively constant in terms of goals scored in 2022. The Blues have scored 47 goals in 23 games so far this calendar year.
One of their better displays came away from home versus Southampton earlier this month when they won 0-6. The Blues will now attempt to clinch a place in the Champions League for the following season. They are also in the FA Cup semi-finals, where they will meet Crystal Palace on Sunday.
3. Barcelona
Under the guidance of club great Xavi, Barcelona has substantially improved its form. As they recover from a strange first half of the season, the Catalan club has been very good this calendar year.
Barcelona has a solid chance of winning the Champions League next season, despite their exit from the UEFA Europa League. They are currently in second place in La Liga, 12 points behind Real Madrid with one game remaining. So far in 2022, they’ve managed to score 47 goals in 21 games.
The 0-4 success over Real Madrid in the El Clasico was the pinnacle of their calendar year’s performance. Barcelona will try to finish the season on a high note to return strong the following season.
2. RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig has had a strong season in 2021-22, thanks in large part to the form of youthful Christopher Nkunku. This season, the Frenchman has been in outstanding form, scoring 30 goals and adding 14 assists in all competitions. In the year 2022 alone, he has ten goals and eight assists.
The German club has advanced to the DFB-Pokal semi-finals and has also qualified for the UEFA Europa League semi-finals. Leipzig has a good chance of winning silverware this season thanks to their offensive style of play. Thus far in 2022, they’ve scored 48 goals in all competitions. With so much on the line, how Leipzig finishes the 2021-22 season will be fascinating to watch.
1. Liverpool
In the 2021-22 season, Liverpool has been an incredible joy to watch. This season, the Reds are in a fierce battle for the Premier League crown with Manchester City. City leads the Reds by one point at the top of the table, thus the rest of the season will be fascinating to watch.
The Reds have yet to play in the FA Cup semi-finals or the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, indicating that they are in good form in all tournaments. They’ve previously earned silverware this season, having won the EFL Cup, and they’re not an easy team to beat.
In 2022, Liverpool has struck 49 goals, the most of any European team. They’ve been relentless and vicious in attack, finding ways to score regularly. They’ll likely add at least one more trophy to their collection this season, based on their present form.
