Here are the seven best attacking duos in football at the moment:
7) Robert Lewandowski & Thomas Muller – Bayern Munich
The former Dortmund striker looked like he might struggle when he first moved to Munich, but he has quickly settled in and developed a brilliant partnership with Thomas Muller.
6) Marco Reus & Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund have made a disastrous start to the new campaign domestically, but these two have still been performing extremely well. They were also instrumental in Dortmund’s successful last season, combining to net 29 times and provide 17 assists between them.
5) Andrea Pirlo & Paul Pogba – Juventus
Pogba clearly had potential when he was at Manchester United, but didn’t really start to blossom until he made the switch to Juventus and Serie A. Under the guidance of one of the greatest midfielders ever to have played the game, the Frenchman is becoming one of the world’s best players himself at just 21.
4) Danny Ings & Sam Vokes – Burnley
They may not be playing for one of Europe’s top teams, but Ings and Vokes were unstoppable when helping Burnley gain promotion to the Premier League last season. Vokes’ injury this season has seen the goals at Burnley all but dry up, and it may be too late to rescue their season by the time he returns.
3) Cesc Fabregas & Diego Costa – Chelsea
Everyone knew that Jose Mourinho had bought himself a couple of world class players over the summer, but very few were expecting the pair to strike up such a fantastic union at club level.
2) Cristiano Ronalo & Gareth Bale – Real Madrid
Once Bale found his stride last season, the world’s most expensive duo began to work brilliantly together. The Welshman is looking to emulate his Portuguese teammate, and looks well on his way to doing so already.
1) Lionel Messi & Neymar – Barcelona
The South American duo are responsible for more than two thirds of all Barcelona’s goals this season so far, and are slowly building a formidable partnership. Slightly overshadowed by Ronaldo’s individual dominance, but still truly world class alone and together.
