The 'LRL': the new trident of FC Barcelona is already one of the best in the world

One of the major contributors to the great 2024-25 season that the FC Barcelona is experiencing is their fearsome attacking trident composed of Lamine Yamal in the right winger position, Robert Lewandowski as center forward, and Raphinha on the left wing. This trio of 'stars' is starting to evoke feelings of superiority reminiscent of the legendary 'MSN' formed by Leo Messi, Luis Suárez, and Neymar Jr.

This goes beyond mere words, as the so-called 'LRL' has accumulated a total of 68 goals (33 from Lewandowski, 24 from Raphinha, and 11 from Lamine). In numerical terms, this represents 57% of the goals scored by the azulgrana team this season (120). This record has positioned the trident in a prominent place as the most lethal in Europe at present and possibly in the world.

This is backed by statistics, as the 68 goals scored so far by the trident formed by Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha place them as the highest-scoring trident so far in the 2024-25 season. Currently, the culé trio slightly surpasses the trident of Liverpool, composed of Mohamed Salah (30), Cody Gakpo (16), and Luis Díaz (13), who have netted a total of 59 goals.

What other teams make up the rest of this 'top 5' of the best tridents in the top 10 leagues in the world?

Regarding the highest-scoring tridents in the top 10 leagues in the world, completing the podium in third place is Bayern Munich. Their scoring trident is led by Harry Kane (29), accompanied by Jamal Musiala (16) and Michael Olise (12), adding up to a total of 57 goals.
