Barcelona superstar duo are the most lethal attackers in Europe’s top five leagues | OneFootball

Barcelona’s attacking trident this season has been sensational with Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal hitting unbelievable chemistry and toying with opposition defences.

Of them, however, Yamal has primarily been involved in goal creation more than the actual finishing in front of goal and it is Raphinha and Lewandowski who have taken up the latter responsibility.

Both the Brazilian and the Polish striker have been in fine form this season, and are in fact Europe’s most potent attacking duo in terms of goals.

Stunning numbers

The veteran striker has been in red-hot form and has served as the perfect target man in Hansi Flick’s system. He has accumulated 26 goals so far this season and is gunning down the Golden Boot.

Raphinha, meanwhile, is not too far behind on 20 goals across all competitions this season. Considering that he has racked up nine assists as well only shows how vital he is to this Barcelona side.

The Lewy-Raphinha combination is the first attacking duo in Europe this season where both players have touched the 20-goal mark and it is clear that they are chasing a historic season.

In comparison to their 46 cumulative goals, the second-highest attacking duo belongs to Bayern Munich where Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala have scored 22 and 14 goals respectively with a total of 36 goals.

Liverpool’s duo of Mohammed Salah and Luis Diaz, meanwhile, follow in third place with 21 and 12 goals to their names and a cumulative 33 goals as a duo.
