"AS" reported that the efficiency of Barcelona's forward trident composed of Rafinha, Lamin and Lewandowski has dropped significantly this season. After the first ten official games of last season, the three together contributed 20 goals and 11 assists. So far this season, this number has plummeted to 9 goals and 6 assists, and the efficiency has almost been halved. This is also one of the key reasons for the team's unstable start.

Looking back on last season, this attacking combination brought a staggering 94 goals and 54 assists to Barcelona. However, this season, ongoing injury problems have seriously affected their performance. Lewandowski is yet to fully return to his best form after picking up an injury in pre-season, Raphinha has suffered a hamstring injury and Lamin has been troubled by a pubic bone injury.

Flick is eagerly looking forward to the three players returning to their best level as soon as possible, especially during the upcoming critical schedule between October and November international matches, including the first leg of the El Clasico.

At the same time last season, the Barcelona Trident had a major explosion, scoring 14 goals and providing 6 assists in 5 key games, including a 4-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu (Lewandowski 2 goals, Yamal 1 goal, Raphinha 1 goal and 1 assist) and a 4-1 victory over Bayern. Flick hopes this is not a flash in the pan and expects them to reproduce the powerful attacking power that shocked Europe last season.
