At 26, Olmo has made an impressive start since rejoining Barcelona, scoring 5 goals in 5 league matches, equaling his single-season Bundesliga goal record from his time at Leipzig. 

A key to Olmo’s success has been his connection with his teammates.

He already had a strong rapport with Pedri and Yamal from his time with the Spanish national team. 

In addition, he benefits from his past familiarity with Lewandowski and has developed a close connection with Raphinha.

Olmo has praised Raphinha’s talent, especially appreciating his supportive role in the locker room and his encouragement of younger players.

According to Opta statistics, Olmo’s impressive form is reflected in his numbers. 

One of the most threatening offensive players in Europe

The Catalan has matched his 2020-21 Bundesliga tally of 5 goals from 32 games with Leipzig, solidifying his reputation as one of the most threatening offensive players in Europe.

Currently, Olmo leads the scoring charts with 1.67 goals per game, ahead of Villarreal’s Ayoze (1.46), Atalanta’s Retegui (1.39), Bayern’s Kane (1.28), and Lewandowski (1.28). 

His efficiency is also remarkable, scoring once every 54 minutes, making him the most efficient goal-scorer in terms of minutes per goal.
