    From Al Kamista@24:150/2 to rec.sport.soccer on Mon Oct 26 15:01:57 2020
    With Kane and Son combining for yet another goal today, they moved to #2 EPL all-time with 29 combo goals (i.e. one assisting the other's goal).

    Which pair holds the record at 35?

    De Bruyne-Aguero

    Ronaldo-Rooney

    Given that it's Alkamista asking the question, it's probably a Liverpool pair? Gerrard-Torres?

    Good guesses but both pairs didn't play together long enough.

    Sorry, didn't mean partial credit. A half of both these partnerships were with someone else tied on 29.

    The pair at 35 played together for a long time, and one of them was a midfielder.

    TransferMarkt has slightly different numbers (go to career/history/teammates, then select only Premier League)

    Kane and Son are on 33
    Henry-Pires first (so far) on 35 (Henry-Bergkamp in the low 20s) Gerrard-Torres on 24
    De Bruyne-Aguero on 21, De Bruyne-Sterling and Sterling Aguero lower


    Of course, if we go out of the Premier League, we have Benzema-Ronaldo on 76 (all competitions). Ronaldo has 4 other teammates with 30+ joint goal participation (Bale, Ozil, Marcelo and Higuain).

    Let's do Messi: there are 6 players with whom he has combined for at least 30 goals (all competitions). Can you guess them?

    Dani Alves it is. Busquets is indeed the teammate who has played most matches together with Messi (528), ahead of Pique and Iniesta tied at 489. Only 18 combo goals, though, even if that includes this memorable Busquets assist:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEl8LqRMkTw

    Rakitic might be another.

    Rakitic is number 8 on the list with 27.
