Author of a double against Rennes on Friday evening, Bradley Barcola has already done better than last season in terms of goals scored with PSG and has just taken control of the Ligue 1 scorers rankings.
After three complicated matches against Brest, Girona and Reims, Bradley Barcola delivered an XXL performance Friday evening during PSG/Rennes (3-1). Untenable on his left wing and author of a double, Bradley Barcola was also at the origin of the goal of Lee Kang-in, who headed his curling shot onto the Rennes post.
Barcola has already scored more goals than last season
With two new goals on the clock, Barcola already has 6 this season, all scored in Ligue 1. Last season, the former Lyonnais only scored 5 in the PSG jersey, in all competitions (4 in Ligue 1 plus 1 in the Champions League against Real Sociedad).
His record for goals in a season (7 with OL in 2022/2023) will soon be broken, but Barcola has already established his record for goals in Ligue 1 since he only scored 5 with OL in the league during the 2022/2023 season (plus 2 in the Coupe de France).
Barcola “top scorer” in Ligue 1 before Nice/PSG
This double against Rennes also allowed Barcola to take control of the Ligue 1 scorers’ ranking since Marseillais Mason Greenwood did not score during Marseille’s defeat in Strasbourg on Sunday evening and remains stuck at five points. Canadian international Jonathan David is also five goals since his hat-trick with Lille against Le Havre.
It is therefore with the “Top Scorer” badge on his jersey, an initiative of the LFP since last season, that Barcola will present himself at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday evening for the Nice/PSG clash of the 7th day of Ligue 1 A badge that he already wore against Lille on September 1, a match in which he scored his 4th goal of the season.
