Barça reach 9,000 goals
A new milestone in the club's history. FC Barcelona have reached 9,000 goals in all official competitions, after scoring four against Villarreal.
From Romà Forns to Ansu Fati
To find the first official Barça goal, we have to go way back to April 5, 1909. In the semifinals of the Spanish championship played in Madrid, Barça lost 3-2 but Romà Forns opened Barça's account. Just over 111 years later, Ansu Fati will enter the history books as the scorer of the 9,000th.
Leo Messi, scorer of 7% of all Barça's goals
The 630 goals that the Argentine has scored as a culé represents 7% of all of the goals in Barça's entire history. That's despite having only played in 15 years of the club's 121-year history. He is followed by César with 232 and Kubala and Luis Suárez with 194 each.
