The current season witnessed a scoring explosion in the major European leagues, especially the Premier League, which collected 1084 goals, breaking the previous record of 1072 goals in 380 games. In contrast, Laliga, which was once renowned for its prolific scoring, has not yet regained its luster on the offensive level, as it recorded the lowest scoring rate this season compared to the major European leagues.

Also, Köln’s 7-1 win over Werder Bremen.
