Two leading members of the attacking ranks at Barcelona on Sunday surged clear atop the Pichichi standings.

As much comes owing to developments in Barca’s La Liga meeting with Villarreal.

Hansi Flick’s troops are of course fresh off making it six wins from six to open the campaign in Spain’s top-flight.

After slipping to a first defeat of the term in the Champions League in midweek, the Blaugrana bounced back in impressive fashion, putting Villarreal to the sword by five goals to one.

The stars of the show at El Madrigal came in the form of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, both of whom were on target to the tune of a brace.

And as much proved enough to guide Barcelona’s attacking partners-in-crime clear atop the top scorer standings in Spain’s top-flight.

After Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé moved level with Lewandowski in the race for the Pichichi on Saturday, the Pole, 24 hours on, responded by moving two goals clear of the summer arrival in La Liga.

Not only that, but Raphinha, with his haul of five goals, has leapfrogged Mbappé into 2nd, too.
