6 active Barcelona stars with the highest number of goals for the club

#3 Philippe Coutinho - 24 goals

FC Barcelona v Levante UD - LaLiga Santander

The most expensive signing in Barcelona's history, Philippe Coutinho makes his way into third place on the list. His 24 goals in almost four years are enough to rank him third in the current Barcelona squad. After an injury-riddled 2020-21 season, Coutinho is now back with the senior squad.

The technically gifted playmaker has had a torrid time in Catalonia, constantly battling against injuries and tactical differences. Since swapping Anfield for the Camp Nou, Coutinho has managed to rack up an underwhelming 38 goal contributions in 98 appearances.

Following a decent start to the last campaign, fans hoped to see the vintage Coutinho in his full glory. Unfortunately for the player and his club, a long-term injury ended his season prematurely. The Brazil international is now looking to get his Barcelona career back on track at the age of 29.

#2 Ousmane Dembele - 30 goals

Dembele is yet to make an appearance this season

Despite his woeful injury record, Ousmane Dembele is surprisingly second on the list of the highest goalscorers currently contracted to Barcelona. During his four-year stay at Camp Nou, the French playmaker has managed to rack up a total of 30 goals.

Possessing a great outburst of pace, Dembele has constructed several goalscoring opportunities due to his lightning speed. However, at the age of 24, the Frenchman is yet to fully furnish his end product, squandering multiple chances as a result.

His consistent fitness issues have done little to help his cause, severely damaging his skills as well as reputation. The supposed heir to Neymar, Dembele currently sits with just 30 goals in 118 appearances for Barcelona. Considering his current contract situation, Culers will be praying against losing their €135 million signing on a free.

#1 Gerard Pique - 52 goals

Pique has rescued Barcelona on multiple occasions

In August 2021, Barcelona witnessed the unfortunate departure of their all-time top-scorer, Lionel Messi. Subsequently, the tally of their highest active goal-getter suffered a colossal drop, going from 672 to just 52.

Nevertheless, the man behind this count is none other than the legendary Gerard Pique. At the risk of undermining the centre-back's superior goalscoring prowess, Barcelona have some serious issues to deal with given that a defender is their current top-scorer.

Possessing exceptional passing abilities, Pique is also extremely efficient whilst going forward. He recently equalled Roberto Carlos' tally of 16 goals, becoming the joint-highest scoring defender in the Champions League. A warhorse for Barcelona indeed.
