Marco Silva's Benfica achieved a 4-0 thrashing of Moreirense and reached 37 goals scored this season, with 18 of those goals coming in the first five rounds of Liga Portugal Betclic. This record places the Eagles as the best attack in the Portuguese league and among the most productive in the major European leagues.
Comparing with other European teams, only AZ Alkmaar presents similar goal-scoring numbers in their respective competitions. However, there is one team capable of surpassing Benfica's offensive pace: Barcelona.
The side coached by Hansi Flick scored 17 goals in the first four rounds of La Liga, one fewer than Benfica in the Portuguese league. Even so, the Blaugrana present a superior average of goals per game: 4.25 compared to the Eagles' 3.6. Thus, only the Catalan giant manages to present an offensive production above Marco Silva's side in this start of the season.
