Barcelona who were knocked out in the semi-finals of the 1999/2000 season did manage to score 45 goals that season and they were perhaps unfortunate not to win the trophy as they had a brilliant squad and were scintillating in front of goal. With the likes of Rivaldo, Patrick Kluivert, Luis Enrique, Luis Figo and Simao in attack, they were a pleasure to watch.

2. Bayern Munich - 43 goals - 2019/2020 season
