In the first quarter of the season, Barcelona's attacking trio, made up of Robert Lewandowski, Raphael Dias 'Raphinha', and Lamine Yamal, has surprised everyone by scoring ten more goals than the trio from Real Madrid with Rodrygo Goes, Kylian Mbappé, and Vinícius Jr. According to data from BesoccerPro for the EFE Agency, Hansi Flick's trio is the highest-scoring in the continent.
The signing of Kylian Mbappé was meant to enhance the group formed by Vinícius and Rodrygo, along with the goal-scoring instinct of Jude Bellingham, for Real Madrid to shine in LaLiga and the Champions League. However, so far, the scoring figures of the Madrid players are below those of the Barcelona forwards.
Real Madrid's attacking trio is the third highest-scoring in Europe with 19 goals, surpassed by Barcelona with 29 and Bayern Munich with 22, equal to Manchester City. They have scored 61.29% of the 31 goals of Real Madrid at the start of the season.
In the next match, Madrid will be without Rodrygo due to an injury. Jude Bellingham will likely join Mbappé and Vinícius in the attack. Barcelona, on the other hand, has the main mission of finishing plays and scoring goals, averaging 1.16 per match.
At 36 years old, Lewandowski has shone again with 15 goals, while Raphinha, with 9 goals and 6 assists, proves his worth at Barcelona. Young Lamine Yamal, with 5 goals, is considered the most promising talent of the Catalan team.
Hansi Flick's system has enhanced the performance of Lewandowski and Raphinha, marking a significant improvement in their performance this season. Barcelona has the best attacking trio on the continent thanks to the combination of these three talented players.
On the other hand, Real Madrid's trio, despite high expectations, has not yet reached its maximum potential. Meanwhile, young Lamine plays an important role in Barcelona's tactical scheme, demonstrating his versatility and ability on the field.
