5 Best Attacking duos this season

World football history has been filled with spectacular duos, tandems, and partnerships. At times, it's arguable that a certain partnership has gone a long way towards clubs securing titles, silverware and stardom.

Football is everything about scoring goals, isn't it? Goals are the end product that decides the result of matches, which is why goalscorers enjoy the greatest share of fame. Football has seen a number of great goalscorers but a single player cannot score goals all alone. He needs a partner in crime.

Not every pair of strikers or attackers might share the same level of understanding. The top clubs in Europe are currently blessed with a host of talented attacking players, but some sides are blessed more than others. Here, we look at five of the best attacking duos in football this season.

#5 Marco Reus - Paco Alcacer (Borussia Dortmund)

Borussia Dortmund have been unstoppable this season. Not only are they on top of the table, but also they were the only Bundesliga side who were undefeated for 15 games into the season - it’s the first time ever BVB have managed the feat.

Alcacer has needed just 281 minutes to rack up his ten-goal tally. The BVB striker had pulverized the record for the quickest man to nine league strikes in Germany, set by Charly Dörfel, who needed a relatively pedestrian 565 minutes for his first nine Bundesliga goals for Hamburg in 1963/64. With nine strikes, Alcacer has already become Dortmund’s record-scoring super-sub.

Reus, the Dortmund captain, has always been one of the best players for them and this season too he has been in form and scored lots of goals.

"Marco Reus a big part of the reason I feel good at Borussia Dortmund" – Paco Alcacer

This is for the first time they both are playing together, as Alcacer was bought from Barcelona this summer and the understanding between both of them has won Dortmund many matches.

Stats:

Reus: 17 Goals and 8 Assists in 27 Games

Alcacer: 13 Goals and 2 Assists in 22 Games
