Barcelona's attacking trio—Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal—has captured attention with their outstanding performances at the beginning of the 2024-25 La Liga season, earning comparisons to Real Madrid’s iconic 'BBC' lineup (Bale, Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo).
The Catalan club has kicked off the season in impressive fashion, winning their first four matches and positioning themselves at the top of the La Liga standings. A major factor behind this strong start has been the explosive form of their forward line, which has collectively scored 13 goals in these initial games.
Robert Lewandowski has been at the forefront of Barcelona’s offense, leading the team with four goals. His sharp finishing skills have been crucial in securing victories, demonstrating his consistent ability to turn opportunities into goals.
Raphinha has also played a pivotal role, contributing three goals, including a memorable hat-trick against Real Valladolid. The Brazilian winger’s attacking prowess and goal-scoring ability have been vital to Barcelona's early dominance.
Lamine Yamal, the emerging star, has been instrumental as the primary playmaker in Barcelona’s attack. With four assists already, Yamal has showcased his vision and creativity, setting up critical chances for his teammates.
Together, Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Yamal have each played a direct role in five goals during the opening four matches—Lewandowski with one assist, Raphinha with two assists, and Yamal with one goal and four assists. This impressive combined effort highlights both their individual talents and their effective collaboration as a unit.
According to La Pausa, this achievement is notable as it matches the early-season performance of Real Madrid’s famous 'BBC' trio, who last reached this milestone during the 2015-16 La Liga campaign. This comparison emphasizes the extraordinary start that Barcelona’s current front line has made.
Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski all have 5 combined goals and assists for #FCB in LaLiga this season.
