The best attacking trios in European club football have been named and ranked - and it's Bayern Munich's frontline that finishes above the rest.

The top 10 from football magazine FourFourTwo has the trio of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller and Serge Gnabry at No 1. The trio have 62 goals and counting between them (although 40 of them have come via Lewandowski, before his injury).

Paris Saint-Germain's dream trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Moise Kean are in second spot, while Tottenham - in fourth spot overall - are highest-placed Premier League club.

That's mainly due to the performance of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min but Gareth Bale has added 10 Spurs goals - when picked - and linked up well with Kane in particular since his loan move from Real Madrid.

Liverpool are in sixth spot but there's a change to their famous dynamic trio: Diogo Jota replaces Roberto Firmino alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Despite the Reds' struggles, the three have scored a combined 52 goals (28 via the unstoppable Salah).

Manchester United's triple of Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani are in seventh spot, with Bruno the leading score of the trio with 24.

That puts United just ahead of Borussia Dortmund's attacking triangle, spearheaded by Erling Haaland with Marco Reus and Jadon Sancho alongside the 20-year-old.

Juventus may be struggling to retain their Serie A crown, but they do rank third here as the goals have kept flowing for Cristiano Ronaldo, Alvaro Morata and Federico Chiesa have combined for 61 goals in all competitions.

That puts Juve (and CR7) above Barcelona's attacking trio. Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele come in fifth - with Messi (29 goals) having scored the majority of their 53 goals.

The full top 10 is below or you can read FourFourTwo's full ranking here.

10. Atalanta (Muriel, Zapata, Gosens)

9. Inter Milan (Lukaku, Martinez, Hakimi)

8. Borussia Dortmund (Haaland, Sancho, Reus)

7. Man United (Fernandes, Rashford, Cavani)

6. Liverpool (Salah, Mane, Jota)

5. Barcelona (Messi, Griezmann, Dembele)
