This Sunday, FC Barcelona's offensive trident reached 26 goals scored in 12 LaLiga games. Lamine (5), Raphinha (7) and Lewandowski (14) already have more goals than the entire Real Madrid (21)
FC Barcelona's spectacular start to the season in LaLiga is summed up in the offensive contribution of its attacking trident. Of the 40 goals scored by the team so far, 26 have come from Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. The comparison with Barça's guard, Real Madrid, is simply brutal. The entire 'merengue' squad barely has 21 goals scored.
After the victory against Espanyol (3-1), the Barça team extended its advantage in the standings to 9 points (Madrid had to postpone its duel against Valencia due to DANA) and also made more differences in the offensive aspect.
Although the man from Mataró and the Pole did not 'get wet' in the Catalan derby, Raphinha did extend his streak. The Brazilian has already surpassed his personal best in his first two seasons with Barça (10), thanks to the 7 goals scored in the League and another 4 in the Champions League. For his part, 'Lewy' remains the top scorer of the tournament, with 14 goals, while Yamal has 5 goals in 12 games.
Real Madrid's attack looks ridiculous against Barcelona
On the contrary, Madrid's offensive trident has been portrayed so far. After the 'bath' of the Classic, where Barça's offensive trident destroyed the 'merengue' defense (2 from Lewandowski, 1 from Rapha and 1 from Lamine), Carlo Ancelotti's men were stuck at 21 goals in favor after 11 days .
Kylian Mbappé, with 6 goals (3 from penalties) is the team's top scorer, with 8 goals less than Lewandowski. Vinicius Jr. is next, with 5, while Rodrygo Goes has barely gotten wet on three occasions.
The most worrying performance for the 'White House' is, without a doubt, that of Jude Bellingham. The Englishman was Madrid's top scorer in the first half of 2023/24, but this season he has not even managed to score his first goal in the League or Champions League yet.
