The goal, a matter of couple

All teams dream of having a scorer in their ranks, a striker who will ensure a significant number of goals that allow them to draw on their inspiration to carry out those rogue games that are the ones that mark whether you are up or down. Finding that goal man is not easy, nor is it usually cheap, so having two is like a kind of blessing.

On Sunday in Anoeta, two of the three most accomplished pairs in the League will face each other. The most fruitful society is made up of Leo
Messi Y Antoine
Griezmann, in large part thanks to the spectacular records that the Argentine continues to treasure. Between them they add 28 goals -21 of Messi and 7 of Griezmann-, surpassing by one the couple formed by Luis
Suarez Y frames
Llorente (27) -18 from Uruguayan and 9 from Madrid-. Behind them appear Alexander Isak Y Mikel Oyarzabal, who have 22 goals well distributed between them -12 for the Swede and 10 for the Eibartarra-.

The figures of the txuri urdin duo are even more remarkable if we take into account that between Messi Y Griezmann add 50 league games, for 47 Suárez and Llorente and 45 Isak Y Oyarzabal.

Messi He has scored 14 goals for Real in 22 league matches, but only five of those 14 goals were scored in Anoeta, while at Griezmann The txuri urdin team is not bad either, since since their departure in 2014 they have faced Real in 13 games in which they have scored five goals, two of them at the Amara Coliseum.

A precedent

For its part, Isak has scored a goal for Barça in four games, the one achieved in December 2019 at Anoeta (2-2) and which meant the final draw in a match in which they also scored Antoine
Griezmann Y Mikel
Oyarzabal. Just failed Messi.

The Eibartarra has scored two goals in his 10 league matches against the Catalans – he also scored in the penalty Super Cup. That of 2019 was the second because in April 2016 he scored the winning goal (1-0) against Barça de Luis
Enrique.

In the boots of these four footballers may be a good part of the luck of this meeting that will bring together two of the most lethal pairs in the League.
