Liverpool's 3-2 victory
over Manchester City
on Sunday not only
took them closer to a
first English
championship in 24 years, but also saw
them move just one goal behind Real
Madrid as Europe's highest league scorers
in 2013-14.
Brendan Rodgers' men have now hit an
impressive 93 goals in 34 Premier League
games this season. Luis Suarez and Daniel
Sturridge - both of whom failed to register
versus City - are the two top scorers in the
division with 49 between them.
Only Real Madrid, with 94 strikes in 33 La
Liga matches, have found the back of the
net more times in 2013-14 from Europe's
major leagues. Cristiano Ronaldo has
supplied 28 of this total.
Barcelona are the third highest scorers
with 92 goals from 33 games and had been
the most prolific side going into this
weekend, prior to their shock 1-0 loss to
Granada.
Manchester City are fourth on the
continent with 86 strikes in 32 encounters.
The Citizens had been Europe's best
scorers during most of the first half of the
campaign, but their potency has decreased
in 2014.
European champions Bayern Munich are
fifth with 82 goals in 30 games. The
Bavarians have also slowed down since
clinching the Bundesliga in record time and
have failed to score in their last two
matches.
French giants Paris Saint-Germain are
Europe's sixth highest scorers, having
struck 74 times in 32 games. Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani have
contributed to 40 of these.
La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid have built
their success this season on a mean
backline, but have still scored 70 league
goals. Serie A table-toppers Juventus have
struck 69 times, while Roma and Feyenoord
complete the top 10 with 68 league goals
apiece.
