Adeyemi achieves exceptional record with Barcelona at the start of the season
Karim Adeyemi has made a strong start with FC Barcelona this season, scoring a goal every 68 minutes, making his goal rate one of the standout surprises in the team's early performance, according to Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo."
Four players are primarily responsible for scoring at FC Barcelona under Hans Flick, led by Raphinha with 8 goals, Lamine Yamal with 7 goals, Fermín with 4 goals, and Karim Adeyemi with 3 goals. The quartet has contributed to 22 of the team's 26 goals.
Karim Adeyemi scored in both of his starts against Elche and Feyenoord, and netted again against Levante with a decisive goal. The German player is known for his ability to score with both feet, despite being left-footed, and his goals vary between powerful shots and quick runs.
The Spanish newspaper reported that Karim Adeyemi had been scoring at a rate of one goal every four matches throughout his career, but since joining FC Barcelona, he has reached a goal every 68 minutes, not counting penalties.
If it weren't for Unai Simon's saves, Karim Adeyemi could currently be competing for the Pichichi award, as he could have added more goals to his tally, while Anthony Gordon has started to struggle with scoring.
Despite this, the newspaper sees that calm is required, and that Anthony Gordon's goals will come with FC Barcelona, who are making a strong attacking start.
