The FC Barcelona experienced a déjà vu at the King Abdullah Sports City. The Catalan team once again humiliated Real Madrid, this time in the final of the Supercopa de España, led by Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski, who were the main contributors to the victory of the culés by directly participating in the 5 goals scored against the merengues.
The blaugrana trident, just like in the first Clásico of the season at the Bernabéu, unleashed all their firepower to deliver another 'thrashing' to the team managed by Carlo Ancelotti. The first to appear was Lamine, who, in a play reminiscent of the best Messi, initiated the comeback with a stunning goal that leveled the score at that moment.
Minutes later, Robert Lewandowski put Barça ahead from the penalty spot, and subsequently, Raphinha began his personal show with his first goal of the night and an assist to Balde to send the match to halftime with a resounding 1-4. In the second half, the Brazilian completed his brace and sealed the match with the fifth and final goal.
The most prolific trident in Europe
After last Sunday night, 'Lewy' has already scored 26 goals in the 27 matches he has played this season. This figure is not far from the 19 scored by Raphinha in the same number of matches, while Yamal has already netted 8 goals in 23 appearances.
In total, the spectacular trident of Barça has scored 53 goals this season, an impressive statistic considering that the team has netted 83 goals in all competitions. To put the magnitude of this statistic into perspective and how crucial the contribution of these 3 stars has been, Real Madrid has scored 65 goals in all competitions, just 12 more than the culés' stars. Numbers from another planet for a trident that has proven to be the best in the world.
