Barcelona have left a very good impression in this first phase of the new Champions League format, especially in attack. Collectively, they have scored a spectacular 28 goals, well ahead of the second most effective team, Borussia Dortmund with 22 goals. And these statistics are the result, above all, of two names: Raphinha and Lewandowski. Both lead the main indicators in attack: goals, assists, shots...

Lewandowski has scored nine goals in his first eight games in Europe's top competition, level with Borussia's Guirassy. Curiously, all of the Barça player's goals have come from inside the six-yard box. Although the forward failed to score yesterday, he has scored in five matches. Last year, he scored three goals in nine games and, in his first season as a Barça player, he scored five in five games.
In second place is his teammate Raphinha. The Brazilian has scored eight goals, including the winning goal against Benfica that gave Hansi Flick's team the victory after an epic comeback. The winger also failed to find the net yesterday at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuïc, but provided the two assists in the match that have taken him to the top of the rankings in terms of assists. He has made five, the same as De Ketelaere, from Atalanta, and Frimpong, from Bayern Leverkusen. He has already surpassed his record from last season, when he only made four assists.
But the Brazilian is not only outstanding in the assists box, there is another classification that he leads completely alone. Raphinha is the top scorer in this first phase of the Champions League. The international, who is having his best campaign since arriving at Barcelona, has tried 34 shots, compared to 33 for Haaland or Mbappé.
