Bayern Munich had the best front three in Europe last season, but there’s already a different runaway leader this time around.
We’ve taken a closer look at the highest-scoring trios across the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 this season. It doesn’t matter whether the three players were on the pitch at the same time or not, just how many goals each team’s three best scorers have got.
It’s very much the early days of this ranking, so expect plenty of change as the season wears on.
But for now, here are the top 10 attacking trios in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
1. Raphinha, Yamal, Fermin (Barcelona) – 32
No Lewandowski? No problem.
Barcelona have banished any fears they’d have a void up front after the Pole’s exit this summer, with Raphinha reborn as a centre-forward. And a pretty good one at that, too.
Lamine Yamal is in his typically outrageous form as well, and so Barca are way out in front with their best three-way combination for goals this season.
We imagine seven-goal Fermin Lopez might not be part of the trio for much longer, since he isn’t really playing as an attacker anyway. Anthony Gordon, your time will come.
2. Mbappe, Bellingham, Diomande (Real Madrid) – 20
Jose Mourinho’s second Real Madrid reign hasn’t been the most convincing so far, but it’s helped that some of his star attackers are still doing the business.
That’s especially the case with Kylian Mbappe, who’s scored 13 goals in La Liga so far – including a brace in El Clasico.
Jude Bellingham has chipped in with a few as well and summer signing Yan Diomande has netted three times.
3. Lepaul, Szymanski, Dia (Rennes) – 16
Esteban Lepaul is the star here, with seven goals already after netting 20 last season. No wonder he recently made his international debut for France.
Boulaye Dia and Sebastien Szymanski have chipped in with five and four each respectively.
4. Haaland, Cherki, Semenyo (Manchester City) – 16
Three successive defeats for City suggest all those off-field distractions might be starting to take their toll.
Erling Haaland has gone nine from 10 so far in the Premier League and Rayan Cherki has already scored five, one more than he did last season.
No one quite knows what these goals are going towards, but City’s frontline has still been lethal.
5. Raimondo, Kvernadze, Calo (Frosinone) – 16
Surely the least well-known trio on this list – unless you’re a Serie A enthusiast or World Soccer subscriber – but this Frosinone frontline has been on fire.
Highlights have included a 3-0 win at Fiorentina, beating Cesc Fabregas’ Como and knocking four past Sassuolo and five past Lecce.
Antonio Raimondo leads the way with eight, with midfielder Giacomo Calo adding five and winger Giorgi Kvernadze contributing three. Consider them firmly on our radar.
Raimondo will be out for a few months though with an injury, just as he was starting to flourish. Football can be cruel.
6. Malen, Mora, Soule (Roma) – 15
Roma enjoyed their highest-scoring 10-game run at the start of a season in Serie A with 28 goals.
Half of those have come from Donyell Malen, Rodrigo Mora and Matias Soule, who have become their best option for a front three while Paulo Dybala has been injured.
It’s Malen doing most of the heavy lifting with eight goals in the league so far.
7. Rabiot, Cisse, Moreira (AC Milan) – 14
An attacking trio featuring a midfielder, a 20-year-old and a wing-back. Fair enough.
Milan will be hoping big summer signing Goncalo Ramos can start repaying their faith, but for now, their main scorers have been Adrien Rabiot, Alphadjo Cisse and Diego Moreira.
8. Romulo, Nkunku, Nusa (RB Leipzig) – 14
Nusa has grabbed the headlines, Chelsea flop Nkunku might grab your attention and Romulo will tickle that part of your brain that fires up Wikipedia at the drop of the hat.
Leipzig are ticking over nicely in the Bundesliga, sitting fourth with all three of the aforementioned players chipping in with goals.
9. Olise, Diaz, Kane (Bayern Munich) – 14
Last year’s most prolific trio are really starting to kick up a gear, scoring five goals between them in Bayern’s recent 6-1 win over RB Leipzig.
Michael Olise currently leads the way with six, but Luis Diaz was the hat-trick scorer against Leipzig and Kane will surely be back in form soon.
10. Ebnoutalib, Burkardt, Uzun (Eintracht Frankfurt) – 13
Another Bundesliga trio to round off the top 10.
Ebnoutalib leads the way with six league goals for Eintracht Frankfurt, one more than Burkardt with five.
Uzun has weighed in with two, meaning these three have scored 13 of the team’s 15 goals to date.
