Aspaper praises Barcelona’s trio: Lewandowski pays tribute to Messi Eto’o, Yamar Rafinha strong

The Spanish media “Aspaper” wrote an article pointing out that the new Barcelona trio composed of Lewandowski, Rafinha, and Yamar has performed extremely strongly this season.

The commentary pointed out that three weeks before the “El Clasico” between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the luxurious trio owned by Barcelona, composed of Lewandowski, Yamar, and Rafinha, posed a threat to the Bernabeu team.

In Barcelona’s 4231 system, the three players play as center forward, right winger, and attacking midfielder respectively. The statistics for these three players in the league alone are: Lewandowski with 10 goals and 2 assists, Rafinha with 5 goals and 5 assists, and Yamar with 4 goals and 5 assists. If we include the Champions League, the trio has collectively added another 4 goals and 1 assist.

The Pole scored 10 goals to become the top scorer for the team, including his hat-trick against Alaves. In addition to the 10 goals, Lewandowski also provided 2 assists. In Sunday’s game, he completed a hat-trick by the 32nd minute – making him the fourth fastest hat-trick record holder in La Liga history for Barcelona, the top three being Eto’o (23 minutes against Almeria in 2008); Tejada (28 minutes against Real Sociedad in 1954); Messi (29 minutes against Mallorca in 2011).

In addition, Rafinha has 5 goals and 5 assists, including two assists provided to Lewandowski on Sunday. Young star Yamar also played a decisive role in the trio; at only 17 years old, he already has 4 goals and 5 assists this season.
