Real Madrid have goalscoring records in sight after averaging 3.66 goals per game in their first nine matches of the season.

The Spanish club have netted 33 goals, so far, this season and are currently the highest scoring team in Europe, and their start to the season has been the best, in terms of goals scored since 1959/60, when the club also managed 33 goals at this stage.

However, the record for the club was actually set in 1950/51, when legendary Russian striker, Pahiño scored 10 goals to take Michael Keeping’s Real Madrid to 34 goals at this stage of the season.

Cristiano Ronaldo has already scored 16 goals this season, which is equal to the sum of Puskas’ and Gento’s goals for the 1959/60 side and makes up 48% of Madrid’s goals this season.

Meanwhile, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema have scored four goals each (12%), Chicharito has three (9%), James has two (6%) and Pepe, Isco, Modric and Ramos all have one a piece (3%).

If Madrid were to keep up their current goal scoring average of 3.66 goals per game, they would easily break the record set in 2011/12 for goals scored in a single season (121) and they would end with a tally of 139 goals.

Real Madrid are currently third in La Liga, however, and sit one point behind Barcelona and Sevilla. What may be crucial in taking the lead in the standings would be that they have only conceded once in their last four La Liga encounters.
