😅 CL keeper outassists Kane & Haaland

The second leg of the CL intermediate round between Atlético Madrid and Club Brugge promises to be just as exciting as the first leg. After the Spaniards and the Belgians ended their last match a week ago with a 3:3 draw, it is 1:1 at halftime.

The opening goal for Atlético in the 23rd minute resulted in a curious statistic. Oblak had launched the ball long to Sørloth, who finished and scored past the fumbling Mignolet.

The assist credited to Jan Oblak for his long kick propelled the keeper straight past top stars like Harry Kane , Erling Haaland , Rayan Cherki, or Estêvão in the CL assist list. The mentioned strikers have not provided any assists in the current season.

All the more curious when you consider that Kane has already provided five assists in the league, while Haaland has assisted teammates seven times.

Of course, it's clear that Oblak cannot match the goal output of a Kane (8 goals) or a Haaland (7 goals). However, the fact that he, as a keeper, currently has more assists is quite a funny statistic.

Meanwhile, the Madrilenians lead 2:1.
