Lewandowski-Raphinha: The most effective duo in Europe!

FC Barcelona added its first victory in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with a 'little hand' against Young Boys (5-0). Once again, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski carried the team's offensive weight, the first as 'MVP' of the match thanks to a goal and an assist that paved the way to a comfortable victory. The '9', for his part, did his homework with a new double.

When the 8th minute of the match passed, the Brazilian and the Pole met again to score a goal. The '11' assisted the '9' to open the scoring, culminating a great Barça collective play with an 'accidental' goal pass, as the South American winger wanted to finish crosswise, but the ball fell to the 'killer', who only He had to push it into the goal to score his first goal in the 2024/25 Champions League.

⚡️ To the first touch.

In the 34th minute, Rapha put his name on the list of scorers, fishing for a rebound inside the area after a shot by Pedri to shoot the visiting goalkeeper. In the complement, 'Lewy' got his third double of the season after a corner served by Raphinha that Iñigo Martínez took advantage of to assist the experienced culé striker. Between the Brazilian and the one from Warsaw they already have 15 goals and 6 assists, more than any other duo in Europe.

And, together with Lamine Yamal, 'Lewy' and Raphinha they make up the most lethal trident in Europe, with 26 goals scored in just 10 games. The '19', although he did not 'wet' against Young Boys, has 5 goals and 5 assists in all competitions, being the team's top assister so far. After the match, the Brazilian winger made it clear what has been the key factor for Barça to exploit all its offensive power in 2024/25.

"We already had this thing of pressing up, but now we are managing to do it very well, we fit it in very well. Physically, everyone on the field is very good, those who come in are helping a lot and that is the most important thing," argued the one from Porto. Cheerful. Despite the absence of Dani Olmo, Barça has maintained its production in attack, with 13 goals scored in its last four appearances. In the Champions League, after the initial setback against Monaco, the Catalans have recovered their winning ways just before what will be their toughest match of the league phase, at home against Bayern Munich.
