Modern day football is all about scoring goals. In the current transfer market scenario, clubs are willing to pay a lot of money for world-class forwards.
The Blaugrana were famous for their “M-S-N” forward line, but it was dismantled when Neymar left the club for PSG in the summer.
Real Madrid have “B-B-C” (Bale, Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo). Napoli amassed 94 goals in Serie A last year, thanks to the attacking trio of Jose Callejon, Lorenzo Insigne, and Dries Mertens.
FC Porto’s attacking trio, Vincent Aboubakar, Moussa Marega and Yacine Brahimi are in superb form this season.
Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic were ruthless for Juventus in Serie A this season.
