On October 12, Beijing time (CET), Mundo Deportivo published an article evaluating the performance of the "G-G duo" of Gordon (Anthony Gordon) and Jesus (Gabriel Jesus).

Barcelona under Flick travelled to Turkey today to continue their Champions League campaign. Raphinha was ruled out for the trip due to a muscle injury, the same issue that kept him sidelined against Getafe. Concerns about Raphinha's absence were quickly eased in the opening half. Gordon and Jesus, tasked with filling his goalscoring void, secured the win for the team within the first thirty minutes, finishing 3-1. Barcelona's "G-force" attack will face Galatasaray tomorrow with a winning streak behind them.

Gordon celebrated his first goal for Barcelona, breaking the deadlock against Getafe with his signature celebration, bow and arrow. Despite being highly respected by fans and having provided four assists, the English winger had yet to score. "It boosts my confidence," he said after the match. However, he has shown no shortage of confidence since his arrival. During the international break, he scored in three consecutive matches for England against Spain, Czech Republic, and Croatia, as well as providing an assist against Croatia. Gordon hopes to maintain this form, continuing to score in Turkey tomorrow, whether as a starter or from the bench, and matching last season's statistics.

Gordon has climbed to the top of the Champions League goalscoring chart with 10 goals, behind only Mbappé's 15 goals and Kane's 14. Four of these goals came against Qarabağ, and two others against Union SG. Barcelona, Benfica, Leverkusen, and PSV Eindhoven have also fallen victim to him. In the Getafe match, he appeared at the top of various statistical rankings: second-most shots (3), second-most big chances created (2), and after Rodri, he also ranks second in successful passes in the attacking third (22).

Jesus's start at Barcelona has been equally impressive, with a remarkable goalscoring rate. He has scored 3 goals in 5 appearances, with only his most recent match against Getafe being a start. Based on his playing time, he averages a goal every 41 minutes, testament to the club's decision to sign him. These three goals already account for half his total tally for Arsenal in the 2024-2025 season.

The striker made his Champions League debut against Feyenoord on September 9, scoring just two minutes after coming on as a substitute. Since then, he has also been prolific in La Liga: against Racing Santander, he scored in just 10 minutes; against Getafe, he needed thirty minutes.

A year ago, Jesus scored twice against Inter Milan. Now, he has scored 3 goals in 123 minutes. In European competition, he scores every 77 minutes; in the league, he has scored 2 goals in 116 minutes, averaging one goal every 58 minutes. In the league, Raphinha leads the team's goalscoring chart with 12 goals, averaging one goal every 46 minutes; in the Champions League, he also leads with 2 goals, averaging one goal every 36 minutes.

If Gordon and Jesus become starters alongside Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Fermín, they will all need to share the goalscoring burden for their captain. Last season, Barcelona scored 32 goals in 12 matches, averaging nearly 3 goals per match. This season, they have only 5 goals in their matches so far, but Galatasaray will certainly not be an easy opponent.
