Ranking the top 5 clubs with the most shots per game in Europe’s major leagues this season
#5 Real Madrid (La Liga) — 17
La Liga giants Real Madrid have been undergoing a lot of internal changes since 2018. It all started with Cristiano Ronaldo's departure. It was followed by Zinadine Zidane's exit and his re-entry. They also had to part ways with Raphael Varane to Manchester United and Sergio Ramos' transfer this season to PSG.
This period has been tough for the club and its followers. However, Carlo Ancelotti's second stint seems to have brought an end to all of their problems. Even though the Blancos are yet to completely steady their ship, they have been doing better than ever.
Real Madrid occupy the second spot in the La Liga table as of now, with a game in hand. They also boast the highest number of goals scored along with an impressive goal difference. The Galacticos have scored 22 goals from eight games with an average of 17 shot attempts per match.

#4 Manchester United (Premier League) — 17.3
The world seems to have forgotten the kind of threat Manchester United once were. The most successful English team has endured a rough patch in the recent past. However, the Red Devils seem to be improving gradually and building their way upwards.
The team that was once star-studded lacked big names within their legions. Signing Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane looks like the first step towards glory for the Red Devils.
United occupy the 6th spot in a closely contested Premier League season. Ole Gunnar Solskjær's men have scored a total of sixteen goals from eight games. That means they have found the net twice for 17.3 shots taken.
