Marcelino and Villarreal on record scoring pace after 54 goals in 29 LaLiga games | OneFootball

Villarreal are scoring at a rate that could deliver another club record under Marcelino. They have 54 goals in 29 LaLiga matches this season.

El Periódico Mediterráneo highlights the pace of this campaign. The team average is 1.86 goals per game. If sustained, it would add 16-20 more across the final nine rounds and could match or surpass the 71 of 2024/25, the club’s top-flight best.

It is the second successive campaign of prolific attacking under the Asturian coach, with only Real Madrid and Barcelona posting better numbers in LaLiga this term.

Villarreal’s most productive LaLiga season remains 2024/25 on 71 goals with Marcelino. Close behind is the 2004/05 campaign on 69 under Manuel Pellegrini. In 2023/24 they struck 65.

There were 63 goals in both 2021/22 and 2019/20, reflecting an attack-minded side. The 2007/08 season also finished on 63, creating a three-way tie for the club’s fifth-best top-flight tally.
