Barcelona is enjoying a spectacular season in attack, with a large part of the credit going to the Lamine Yamal-Raphinha duo. The two forwards have become a real goal and assist machine, posting numbers that leave their rivals at Europe’s biggest clubs far behind.
The Catalans have scored 46 goals in 11 La Liga matches, and the contribution of their two stars is outstanding. In 14 appearances across the league and the Champions League, Yamal and Raphinha have combined for 29 goals and 14 assists, a total of 43 direct goal contributions.
Raphinha has been especially productive, with 17 goals and 3 assists in 12 matches. Meanwhile, talent Lamine Yamal has 12 goals and 11 assists in 14 games, confirming his status as one of the most decisive players of the moment.
Both were also key in the recent win over Alavés, where each scored twice. Their figures are significantly higher than those of rival duos in Europe. Kane and Olise at Bayern Munich have 16 goals, Haaland and Cherki at Manchester City have 18, and Mbappé and Güler at Real Madrid also have 18 goals. Lautaro-Thuram at Inter and Ferran Torres-Dembélé at PSG have 11 goals each.
