Barcelona pair lead La Liga in big chances created this season | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic, highlighting the creative excellence of two members of the attacking ranks at Barcelona thus far this season, has come to the fore online.

The stat in question surrounds chances carved out in La Liga, and unsurprisingly centers on the pair of Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal.

Wingers Raphinha and Lamine have of course both enjoyed stellar starts to the new campaign.

Considered the undisputed starters on the two flanks in Hansi Flick’s attack-minded setup, the duo have dazzled en route to guiding Barca to the top of the Spanish top-flight table.

Raphinha has for his part notched 13 direct goal contributions in 13 appearances, with Lamine boasting a record of 12 in 12.

In turn, it should not come as a major surprise to hear that, thus far in 2024/25, the Blaugrana stars lead the way when it comes to chance creation in La Liga.

As revealed by statisticians StatMuse, with 11 each, Raphinha and Lamine have racked up more ‘big chances’ created than any other player:
