Gabigol involved in over a third of Santos’ goals this year | OneFootball

In the 2026 season, more than a third of Santos' goals have involved Gabriel Barbosa. Whether finding the back of the net or providing assists, Gabigol has been involved in nine of the 22 goals that Alvinegro Praiano has scored this year.

Gabigol is Santos’ top scorer of the year, with seven goals. The striker returned to Vila Belmiro at the start of the season and is a key piece in Peixe’s attack. The two players who have scored the most after Gabi are Thaciano, with three goals, and Neymar, with two.

In addition to being Santos’ top scorer, Gabigol is also the leader in assists for Alvinegro Praiano this season, with two assists.

The seven goal involvements in the 11 matches he has played, besides guaranteeing him the lead in this statistic at Santos, also place him among the best in Brazil in terms of numbers.

According to Sofascore, Gabigol is the second player most involved in goals this year among athletes in the Brazilian Championship. The Menino da Vila is only behind Palmeiras’ Flaco López, who has contributed nine goals and four assists this season.

Gabigol is one of Santos’ main weapons for the clash with Internacional, in the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship. The two teams will take the field this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro.
