As domestic leagues approach the business end of the season, scoring goals is a crucial factor for success and silverware triumph. Here’s a roundup of the best attacks in Europe for the 2023/24 season so far.
Best Attacks In Europe 2023/24 Season
This list takes into account only the top five leagues and is primarily based on goals scored and xG (expected goals).
As of today, March 7th, these are the best attacks in Europe:
5. Manchester City – 62 Goals Scored
Manchester City have been one of the most prolific goal-scoring teams in Europe for the past seven years under the management of Pep Guardiola. Unsurprisingly, they once again feature prominently on the list of this season’s best attacks.
So far this season, they have scored 62 goals in the league, and they average 2.30 goals per game. City has actually scored more than expected, as their xG sits at 60.64.
Erling Haaland has scored the most goals out of those 62, scoring 18 of them, with 6 coming against the ‘big’ six. He will certainly look to add to this tally to overcome rivals Liverpool for the Premier League title.

4. Liverpool – 64 Goals Scored
In past seasons, Liverpool’s attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane were instrumental to their team’s output in front of goal. They scored 94 goals in the 2021/22 season, which marked the last time the trio featured together.
However, this season the Red’s attack has consisted of Salah, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz, who have all put up numbers for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
They have scored 64 goals in the league, which is an average of 2.37 goals per game. Their xG statistic aligns closely with their actual goal tally, standing at 63.31, indicating a precise reflection of their goal-scoring efficiency.
As of now, Mohamed Salah leads the goal-scoring charts for Liverpool, having netted a total of 15 goals.
