The purpose of the beautiful game is to score goals. It's what brings spectators up from their seats and results in points.
It's also the most difficult task. As a result, the top teams in the world are always those that are most adept at putting the ball in the back of the net.
Here is the lowdown of the best-attacking teams across Europe's top five leagues from this season
5. Borussia Dortmund - 103 goals
Dortmund's perfect blend of bubbly young talents and experienced players ultimately failed to earn silverware but were never short in terms of their eye-pleasing brand of football.
Despite painfully missing out on ending Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga on the last day, Edin Terzic's men will take the consolation prize of being named among the best attacks in Europe's top five leagues, per Playmaker Stats.
The Yellow and Blacks scored a staggering 83 goals in 34 matches in the German top flight averaging at least two goals per game. Moreover, they churned out 11 goals in a relatively dry Champions League campaign while netting seven times in the DFB Pokal.

#Arsenal were the only side in the Premier League to have three players record 20+ goals and assists, with Bukayo Saka (25), Martin Odegaard (22) and Gabriel Martinelli (20) hitting the feat. All three qualify for the Young Player of the Year Award. The future is bright. #afc pic.twitter.com/cGi1UTW8Jq
