Many iconic attacking partnerships have existed between players over the last decade. Most of these attacking duos have given each other assists, and this partnership has helped their teams win many titles in the past.

At Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema formed an iconic attacking partnership. Both players scored 76 goals in 342 games together.

Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Benzema 29 times, while the French forward assisted the Portuguese winger 47 times. Karim Benzema won the La Liga and the UEFA Champions League in 2021/22.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, on the other hand, formed an iconic attacking partnership at Barcelona. Both players combined for 258 games and 99 goals.

Lionel Messi assisted Suarez 43 times, while the Uruguayan striker assisted the Portuguese winger 56 times. Luis Suarez is currently a free agent, while Messi won the Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain in 2021-22.

 

Furthermore, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard formed one of Chelsea's most iconic attacking partnerships. Both players appeared in 300 games and scored 58 goals.

Drogba assisted Lampard 24 times, while the retired England midfielder assisted the Ivorian Professional 34 times. Both players are now retired, but Lampard is the manager of Everton.

Moreso, Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son formed one of Tottenham Hotspur's most famous attacking partnerships. Both players have combined for 251 games and 53 goals.

Harry Kane assisted Heung-Min Son 22 times, while the Asian Professional assisted the English striker 31 times.

Both players will return to Tottenham as attacking players next season. That means they could still play more games together and help each other out.

Furthermore, Arjen Robben and Ribery formed a legendary attacking partnership at Bayern Munich. Both players combined for 187 games and 37 goals.

Ribery assisted Robben on 28 occasions, while Robben assisted Ribery on 9 occasions. However, another iconic attacking partnership in Bayern Munich history is Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller.
