Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski and Raphinha: Is Barcelona’s attacking trio back?

The end of the Champions League league phase brought positive news for Barcelona, who secured a Top 8 finish and once again saw their attacking trio shine under Hansi Flick.

Barcelona struggled early against FC Copenhagen at Camp Nou, but ultimately found solutions through Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, a trio that seems to be clicking again at the perfect moment in the Champions League.

Yamal, Lewandowski and Raphinha deliver vs Copenhagen

Lewandowski, Yamal and Raphinha all found the scoresheet in a 4-1 win, fully justifying Flick’s trust.
The Polish striker won the penalty converted by Raphinha, while Yamal, Barcelona’s second-highest scorer in the competition, added an assist and was named Man of the Match.

“In the Champions League I feel freer, happier, and really pleased with the performance,” Yamal said after the game.

Marcus Rashford adds another attacking threat

Beyond the trio, Marcus Rashford continues to be a key weapon for Barcelona. Coming off the bench, the English forward scored once again and leads the team’s scoring chart in the Champions League with five goals.

With multiple attacking options firing, Barcelona look increasingly dangerous heading into the knockout stages.
