Barça and their supersubs

Barça have scored 35 goals in 14 league games so far this season and are top scorers in La Liga. Part of that success is down to the contribution of players who have come on as substitutes. With Arturo Vidal’s winner against Leganés, Barça have recorded seven goals from players who have come on during a game, ahead of second placed Getafe, Levante and Real Madrid on five.

The blaugranes are also top of the rankings across Europe’s top five leagues with French side Angers and Serie A outfit Atalanta on six. Let’s have a look at the work of Barça’s ‘supersubs’:

Arturo Vidal: 2 goals

• Week  2 (Barça 5-2 Betis): On 74’ scores 77’.
• Week  14 (Leganés 1-2 Barça): On 57’ scores 79’

Luis Suárez: 2 goals

• Week  4 (Barça 5-2 Valencia): On 60’ scores 61’ and 82’.

Ansu Fati: 1 goal

• Week  3 (Osasuna 2-2 Barça): On 46’ scores 51’.

Arthur: 1 goal

• Week  3 (Osasuna 2-2 Barça): On 53’ scores 64’.

Busquets: 1 goal

Arturo Vidal’s best season for goals

With his winner against Leganés, the Chilean now has four goals this season, one better than his debut campaign as a blaugrana last season. Messi and Suárez are top scorers with nine goals then come Vidal and Griezmann on four.
