Ranking the top 5 clubs in Europe's major leagues with the most goals so far this season
#5 Real Madrid — 24
A highly successful period that included a Champions League three-peat was followed by a slight downfall for Real Madrid. After the 2017-18 campaign, Los Blancos lost three of their main pillars in Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and manager Zinedine Zidane in seasons that followed.
However, the club did its best to maintain its reputation. Bringing in Carlo Ancelotti, someone who knows the club inside-out, seems to be working for the Spanish giants. Having had a great start to the season, Real Madrid endured two bitter defeats in quick succession before entering the international break.

The 33-times Liga champs have secured 24 goals across all competitions. While they have been impressive in La Liga (22 goals from eight games), their UCL outings have given them just two goals so far.
#4 PSG — 25
By its standards, PSG should have been at the top of the list. Nevertheless, with 25 goals across all competitions, the Parisians secure 4th spot on our list. After nine Ligue 1 matchdays, PSG have scored 22 goals in the domestic league.
Being in a relatively tougher group in the Champions League has allowed the 2020 tournament finalists to grab three goals off two games so far. Pochettino's men are expected to go really far in the competition. It would be a shame if the Parisians end their campaigns on a mediocre level despite boasting a star-studded squad.
Undoubtedly, for the same reason, they are also expected to increase the number of goals scored.
PSG goals this season:
Messi + Neymar + Mbappe = 5 goals
Idrissa Gueye + Ander Herrera = 8 goals https://t.co/1WKWriILfv
