Football is all about scoring goals to defeat the opposition. With some great attacking players across Europe, we profile 5 of the best attacking trios this coming season.
#1 Real Madrid - BBC: Benzema, Bale and Cristiano
The deadly trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale are arguaby the best attacking unit in the world as they shared the most number of goals among them.
The Los Blancos strike trio has great finishing ability, strong purposeful running, and the intelligence to link up with each other beautifully. Their tally of 97 goals was instrumental in helping Real Madrid win the Copa del Rey and the coveted 10th Champions League victory, the La Decima.
Ronaldo, the top scorer for the team scored 51 goals and gave 13 assists. His goals were evenly distributed: 31 in La Liga, 17 in Champions League and three in Copa Del Rey and he was pivotal to Real’s domination. The Frenchman Benzema, who had never been a fan favourite, scored 24 goals last season and was able to set-up 14 more. The Welshman Bale completed a dream debut season with Real Madrid and finished with a tally of 22 goals and 16 assists.
With Real looking to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League in the modern day, this trio will be very crucial to their hopes in the coming season.
