Juventus and Roma fans must be really enjoying their respective teams performances so far this season. Both the Bianconeri and the Giallorossi have already secured Champions League football for next season, and are also well ahead of the pack, with just five points seperating the reigning Scudetto holders from the second-placed capital club. But even more impressive is their goal output. In a league that non-calcio followers often associate with defensive tactics and lower score-lines, Juventus and Roma have been firing in the goals--whilst, yes, minimizing the number of times each teams goalkeeper picks the ball out from his net. La Vecchia Signora boast69goals so far, and La Maggica is just behind them with68from 33 games played, so thats on average a bit more than 2 goals per game for Francesco Totti & Co. Decisive attack, yet very strong at the back: Both Juventus and Roma have done well in each department However, despite leading Serie A, Juventuss haul is obviously by far not the most prolific side in Europe. That honour goes to Real Madrid, who so far have netted a whopping94 strikes, with Cristiano Ronaldo grabbing28of those so far. Next up is Liverpool. The Reds, who are inching closer to claiming their first Premier League title in over two decades, are just behind Carlo Ancelottis men with93goals. Even more impressive is the fact that Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, aka SAS have scored49 of those between them. Beasts: Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have grabbed nearly 50% of their teams goals this season Despite claiming the Bundesliga in record time, Bayern Munich sit fifth on this list with82goals, but die Roten have failed to score in their last two league games that ended as a loss. Reigning Champions League winners Bayern are in the middle of the table with over 80 goals Not surprisingly, given his great season so far, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who leads the Ligue 1 scoring charts with25goals, has scored over 1/3rd of PSGs74. If one adds Edinson Cavanis15, the former Serie A duo have also scored over 50% of Les Parisiens league haul this season. Impressive: Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani have scored 40 out of their teams 74 strikes Heres the top 10 list in full: Real Madrid--94 goals Liverpool--93 goals Barcelona--92 goals Manchester City--86 goals Bayern Munich--82 goals Paris Saint-Germain--74 goals Atletico Madrid--72 goals Feyenoord--70 goals Juventus--69 goals Roma--68 goals
