A pair of head-turning statistics, surrounding the production of Barcelona’s attacking stars, have come to the fore online over the last 24 hours.
This, of course, comes fresh off Hansi Flick’s troops extending their advantage atop the La Liga table.
After welcoming neighbours Espanyol to Montjuïc for the Derbi Barceloní, Barcelona ultimately emerged on the right side of a 3-1 scoreline.
And playing leading roles once more were wide-man duo Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal.
The former continued his hot streak in front of goal by notching the Blaugrana’s 2nd of the clash, with partner-in-crime Lamine having laid on Dani Olmo’s opener courtesy of a sumptuous left-footed assist.
And, in the process, both remarkably improved on their tallies for the entirety of the 2023/24 campaign.
As per statisticians StatMuse, Raphinha’s haul of 11 goals in just 15 games is one more than he managed to net under Xavi’s watch last season:
Lamine, meanwhile, in taking his season tally to eight assists, has also improved on his haul from his debut campaign on the senior stage:
