Chrystian Barletta enjoying career-best year at Sport, see his stats | OneFootball

Chrystian Barletta has made 2026 his most productive season in professional football. The Sport forward has reached 14 goals and seven assists, totaling 21 direct goal contributions. That number surpasses his previous best in offensive output.

The performance added another chapter in the 2-1 win over Juventude last Saturday in the Brazilian Serie B Championship. Barletta scored the equalizer after an individual play and paved the way for the Pernambuco side’s comeback, as they turned the match around in the final minutes.

The mark of 14 goals already matches the number the player reached in 2024. That season, however, he had five assists. Now, in addition to repeating the same number of goals, Chrystian Barletta has added two more contributions with decisive passes.

Numbers in Serie B

The Brazilian Serie B snapshot helps show the forward’s importance in Sport’s campaign. Chrystian Barletta has scored 11 of the team’s 39 goals in the competition and has also provided three assists. The numbers are from the Sofascore platform.

Combined, those two statistics mean the player has been directly involved in 14 of Sport’s 39 goals in Serie B, the equivalent of 35.9% of the team’s offensive production. That puts Chrystian Barletta among the main attacking references for the red-and-black side in the competition.

Forward can still extend record

The season is not over for the player yet. Sport still has at least nine matches ahead, which leaves open the possibility for Chrystian Barletta to set an even more impressive mark.

The progress is also evident when his 2026 performance is compared to his overall numbers since arriving at the club. Signed in 2024, the forward has made 132 appearances, scored 31 goals, and recorded 13 assists in the red-and-black shirt.

New contract until 2029

His strong performances have also been accompanied by greater recognition off the pitch. In August, for example, Chrystian Barletta renewed his contract with Sport until the end of July 2029 and received a salary increase.

The renewal reinforced Sport’s commitment to the forward, who helped the club earn promotion to Serie A in his first season. In fine form, Chrystian Barletta heads into the final stretch as an important piece in the fight to return to the top flight.
