On October 12, according to CET time, Mundo Deportivo published an article evaluating the performance of the "G duo" comprising Gordon and Jesus.

Flick's Barcelona traveled to Turkey today to continue their Champions League campaign. Raphinha was absent from the squad for this trip; the winger, who has scored 14 of Barcelona's 39 goals this season, is sidelined with a muscle injury, the same issue that kept him out of the match against Getafe. Concerns about Raphinha's absence were quickly eased in their opening match. Gordon and Jesus, tasked with filling the goalscoring void left by his absence, helped their side secure victory in the first half, ultimately leading to a 3-1 win. Barcelona's attacking "G factor" will face Galatasaray tomorrow on a winning streak.

Gordon celebrated with a "bow and arrow" gesture after scoring his first goal for Barcelona against Getafe. Despite receiving high praise from fans and providing 4 assists, the English winger had previously struggled to find the back of the net. "That gives me more confidence," he said after the match. In fact, he showed no lack of confidence from the start. During this international break, he scored in three consecutive matches for England against Spain, the Czech Republic, and Croatia, while also providing an assist against Croatia. Gordon hopes to maintain this form and continue scoring in Turkey tomorrow, whether starting or coming off the bench, to replicate his impressive record from last season.

Gordon sits atop the Champions League scoring chart with 10 goals, behind only Mbappé's 15 and Kane's 14. Four of these goals came against Karabakh, and two others against Union Saint-Gilloise. Barcelona, Benfica, Leverkusen, and PSV Eindhoven have also fallen victim to him. Since the Getafe match, he has appeared at the top of various statistical rankings: second-most shots (3), second-most big chances created (2), and second in successful passes into the attacking danger zone (22) behind Rodri.

Jesus has also made an impressive start at Barcelona, with an exceptional scoring rate. He has scored 3 goals in 5 appearances, with the recent Getafe match being his only start. Based on his playing time, he averages one goal every 41 minutes, validating the club's decision to sign him. These 3 goals already equal half of his total goals at Arsenal in the 2023-24 season.

The striker made his Champions League debut on September 19, 2024, in a match against Feyenoord, scoring just 2 minutes after coming off the bench. Since then, he has also scored in La Liga: scoring in just 10 minutes against Racing Santander and 30 minutes against Getafe.

A year ago, Jesus scored two goals against Inter Milan. Now he has 3 goals in 123 minutes. In European competitions, he scores every 41 minutes, an exceptional rate; in La Liga, he has 2 goals in 116 minutes, averaging one every 58 minutes. In La Liga, Raphinha leads the team with 12 goals, averaging one every 46 minutes; in the Champions League, he temporarily leads with 2 goals, averaging one every 36 minutes.

If Gordon and Jesus start alongside Lamine Yamal, Olmo, and Fermín, they will all be tasked with reducing the goalscoring burden on their captain. Last season, Barcelona scored 32 goals in 12 matches, nearly 3 per game. This season, they have only 5 goals so far, but Galatasaray will certainly not be an easy opponent.
