Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha have emerged as Barcelona most lethal attacking pair in the 2024/25 Champions League, each scoring nine goals. Raphinha winner against Benfica (1-0) secured a quarterfinal spot. Lewandowski now has 34 goals in 38 games, while Raphinha has 25 in 40 matches, drawing comparisons to the legendary Messi-Neymar partnership from 2015.
In the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 season, FC Barcelona’s attacking duo of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski have been sensational, scoring nine goals each in the tournament. Their latest contribution came in a 1-0 victory over Benfica, where Raphinha netted the winning goal, bringing Barcelona closer to the quarter-finals.
This achievement places them just behind Serhou Guirassy (10 goals) and Harry Kane, who also scored a brace for Bayern. With Lewandowski scoring 34 goals in 38 matches across all competitions and Raphinha netting 25 goals in 40 appearances, they have formed Barcelona’s most prolific duo in Europe since 2015.
Their partnership is reminiscent of Lionel Messi and Neymar, who led Barça to their fifth UCL title a decade ago. Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona has seven wins, one draw, and one loss in the UCL, scoring 29 goals and conceding 13. With six potential matches left, they aim to secure their sixth Champions League title, continuing an already record-setting season.
