The start of the season has been very good for Kylian Mbappé, a little less for Lionel Messi, but we have nevertheless seen for a few weeks that the sevenfold Golden Ball has started to take its bearings in the game and this is reflected in a real complementarity with the native of Bondy. Afrique Sports has chosen a fairly recent stat that reflects this good form of the duo. Of the last 4 assists delivered by Lionel Messi, 3 have been for Kylian Mbappé.
In 4th position in our ranking, we have chosen a duo that has been working very well even since the start of the 2021-2022 season. He is the one trained at Real Madrid by Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior. These two players rub shoulders much longer than Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé but they have become truly complementary. Why ? For the simple reason that the young Brazilian who had a tendency to operate headlong became more altruistic with his partners, in particular the French striker, and he also became formidable in the finish. With Benzema who has become one of the most complete strikers, this duo is sparking in Europe. The stat to illustrate it, these two players have delivered 7 assists between them and they weigh in all 60% of the goals scored by Real Madrid in the Spanish Liga.
In 3rd position, another duo which very recently sparked in the English Premier League. They are the two Tottenham attackers, Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son. We all know that they have been able to do wonders for several seasons. Why ? Quite simply because the two players are very complete. Harry Kane is a real danger from opposing surfaces but he is also a player who is able to go down very low to send caviars to his teammates. And there is Heung-Min Son who is a very fast player and also very skilful in front of goal. All this gives a very explosive duet. A proof with the stat that we decided to retain, it is quite simply a record. Kane and Son have provided or assisted 37 Premier League goals, better than Didier Drogba and Franck Lampard.
In 2nd position, the former duo that has been wreaking havoc on the old continent for years is Robert Lewandowski – Thomas Müller. Both players are in sparkling form this season, so once more this season. So there we are on a register of passer finisher because the Pole is quite simply the best player in the world in the opposing area and the German has become a formidable passer. This year, he has 7 assists in the Bundesliga while Robert Lewandowski has scored 28 league goals. To illustrate the understanding between the two men, we have retained this stat: Thomas Müller delivered 16 assists including 6 for the Polish striker.
Finally at the top of our ranking, we might not put the Liverpool duo formed by Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah. The two men found themselves in the final of the biggest football competition on the African continent, removed by the Senegalese. The Pharaons, then unfortunate finalist and currently top scorer in the English Premier League, is also the best provider. Sadio, on the other hand, is ranked 3rd. These two players have relearned to find each other very easily and above all they carry Liverpool. It’s very simple, both evolve at their best levels. Mané is more of a finisher, Salah is capable of doing everything and that gives this completely crazy stat. These two Africans, if not the best on the continent, are directly involved in 54% of Liverpool’s goals this season.
