10 stats from La Liga in 2023/24

Now that the La Liga 2023/24 season has come to an end, it is the moment to look back over the campaign. Xavi Hernández's team finished second in the table with 85 points from 26 wins and five draws, points gained via some of the following individual and collective stats. 

Lamine Yamal, biggest dribbler…

The teenager has been the sensation of the season and Lamine Yamal has not been shy of showing off his talent with the ball, attempting 141 dribbles, more than anyone else in the squad with João Cancelo second on 109. 

…and most appearances

Lamine Yamal also showed great consistency this season with 37 appearances for the first team. However, Ilkay Gündoğan took the prize for most starts, 33, and most minutes, 2,997. 

24 years and 170 days, youngest average age 

The arrival on the scene of several players from La Masia was one of the high points of the campaign for Barça. Not only did Lamine Yamal make a name for himself, but Pau Cubarsí also established himself as a regular in the starting line up. The two players were both in the team for the youngest XI of the season which came in the 4-2 win away at Betis in which Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick. 

Lewandowski and 17 different goalscorers

Robert Lewandowski was once again the top scorer for the blaugranes in La Liga. Pichichi last season in the league, the Polish striker scored 19 goals over the 2023/24 campaign. 

No-one else reached double figures with Fermín nabbing eight goals followed by João Félix and Ferran Torres on seven. Raphihna scored six time, Lamine Yamal five, Pedri four and Sergi Roberto three. With two goals were Frenkie de Jong, Vitor Roque, Christensen and Cancelo with Araujo, Marc Guiu, Gavi and Kounde finding the net once. 

Gündoğan, most starts 

 İlkay Gündoğan showed his importance to the team by making 33 starts for Xavi Hernández's team, just ahead of Lewandowski and Kounde on 32. 

Fermín, always intense 

Fermín gives everything out on the field and his excellent end to the campaign underlined his value in his breakout campaign. The midfielder committed more fouls with 43 than any other player, followed by Cancelo on 40 and Gavi on 31. 

24 goals in the last 15 minutes

The team never gives up as 24 goals between minutes 76 and 90 over the campaign show, giving the blaugranes 53 goals in the second half of matches compared to 26 in the opening period. 

2 goals from free kicks

Since the departure of Leo Messi, Barça have struggled in this area but in September against Betis Ferran Torres scored a first goal from a free kick in just over two years for FC Barcelona. 

In April came a second with Robert Lewandowski repeating the trick at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in the 4-2 win over Valencia. 

17 clean sheets 

Between them Ter Stegen and Iñaki Peña claimed 17 clean sheets in the league with Barça recording the third best defensive numbers in the division. With the German keeper out injured, Iñaki Peña kept two clean sheets as his deputy, the man from Mönchengladbach recording 15. 

1-0 the most common scoreline 

Eight matches were won by the only goal of the game for Xavi Hernández's team. The second most common scoreline 2-1 with five, followed by 2-0. 

There it is, the 2023/24 season in stats.
