#3 Harry Kane-Son Heung-Min (Tottenham Hotspur)
It all started well for Tottenham Hotspur in the 2020-21 season. It looked like things were falling into place for Jose Mourinho's side as Son and Kane got Spurs off to a flying start in the Premier League. The duo shared a telepathic connection on the field and seemed to be scoring and assisting for fun.
However, a dip in the duo's form halfway through the season derailed Spurs' campaign. Left with a side that displayed no redeeming qualities, Mourinho was eventually sacked as well. But the Harry Kane-Son Heun Min partnership is here to stay.
The Englishman scored a whopping 33 goals and provided 17 assists in 49 appearances across all competitions for the Lilywhites. He also won the Golden Boot and the Playmaker Award in the Premier League for most goals scored and most assists provided respectively.
Son scored 22 goals and provided 17 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions for Tottenham Hotspur in the 2020-21 season. When they are on song, they are among the most difficult players to contain or silence on a football pitch.
#2 Kylian Mbappe/Lionel Messi-Neymar Jr. (Paris Saint-Germain)
We've decided to include all three because we don't know which one's going to pop this season. It could very well be a triumvirate but we're well aware of what Lionel Messi and Neymar can do together. We've seen plenty of that at Barcelona.
Alongside Luis Suarez, Messi and Neymar formed arguably the greatest attacking trio in modern football. At PSG, they will have a prime Kylian Mbappe instead of Suarez. Neymar missed a chunk of the 2020-21 season through injury. He still managed to score 17 goals and provide 11 assists in 31 appearances across all competitions.
His partnership with Mbappe was crucial to PSG slaying European giants like Barcelona and Bayern Munich on their way to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Mbappe had an excellent 2020-21 campaign at an individual level. He scored 42 goals and provided 11 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions. With Messi also added to the mix, those numbers are expected to get even better.
#1 Robert Lewandowski-Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
Robert Lewandowski is, without doubt, one of the greatest strikers of the modern era. He has been extremely prolific in front of goal over the past few seasons and it just wouldn't be the same without his partner Thomas Muller.
Muller, the self-styled 'Raumdeuter' or interpreter of space, plays as a second striker or an attacking midfielder for the Bavarians. He is one of the most intelligent players in the world and his movements are top-notch.
Muller keeps popping up in tiny pockets of space in and around the area and he also helps create space for Lewandowski by taking defenders away with him. This partnership works wonders up front for Bayern Munich.
Lewandowski beat Gerd Muller's record for the most goals scored in a 38-game Bundesliga season by scoring 41 goals in 27 top-flight matches this past term. He finished the season with a tally of 48 goals and nine assists from 40 appearances across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Thomas Muller scored 15 goals and provided a whopping 24 assists in 46 appearances across all competitions for Bayern Munich in 2020-21.
