Raphinha closes in on Lamine Yamal in the lead in assists in LaLiga

FC Barcelona maintained the lead in LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25 thanks to a resounding win against Sevilla (5-1). Hansi Flick's men crushed the Seville team with doubles from Robert Lewandowski and Pablo Torre, along with another from Pedri González. Of the goals scored by the Pole, one came courtesy of Raphinha.

The Brazilian captured a clearance with Nyland's fists and finished with a left-footed cross. The shot was a little off, but 'Lewy' put his right foot in to correct the trajectory and make it 3-0 before the break.

With this, the '11' added his fifth assist of the tournament, leaving him one behind Lamine Yamal, who has 6 assists so far in the tournament and this Sunday also served a goal during the first half.

Raphinha and Lamine, the ideal partners for Lewandowski

Eleven minutes before the third culé goal, the one from Esplugues de Llobregat had served a pass to Pedri that the Tenerife native took advantage of to score a real great goal. Both the Porto Alegre player and the '19' remain among the best assists players in the tournament and continue to accompany Lewandowski in the Barça offensive production.

And, although the '9' is the team's undisputed top scorer (he has 12 goals in the League and 2 in the Champions League, in addition to 2 assists), Raphinha and Lamine have also done the job by scoring and assisting, although Porto's Alegre hasn't 'wet' in LaLiga for four days (Yamal also didn't score in the last 2 games).

The '11' remains the team's second highest scorer with 6 (5 in the League and 1 in the Champions League), while the '19' has 5 (4 and 1). At the moment, Barça maintains a spectacular average of more than 3 goals scored per game (3.23), with 39 goals scored in 12 games. Without a doubt, the contribution of their offensive trident has been decisive in achieving these figures.
