Hi,
I wonder if the construction below is OK im terms of grammar, as it's obvious it was the team, not the person who have scored the 16 goals.
"Having scored 16 goals in their last four matches, Holger Badstuber admits Bayern Munich have arrived at Villarreal in rude health, ahead of tomorrow night's Champions League opener."
Thank you.

No, it's wrong. It's a typical example of a so-called "dangling participle".
