Has 13 goals from outside the box so far this season, his 2nd most ever behind 16/17. Over 25% of his goals are from outside the area this season again.
The fact that he's done this while barely playing in the CDR, not really playing for Argentina, and having a broken arm and missing over a month is absurd. This is legitimately one of the best statistical seasons he's ever had and definitely on track to be his best CL scoring season in the knockouts.
If he leads us to the treble *knock on wood*, then it's probably the GOAT leadership feat ever. Way better than Maradona's WC, Pele's WC's, anything Ronaldo has ever done. It's no exaggeration given how much he's been our emotional leader (actually inspiring the dressing room) as well as our leader by example and by far the best player.
it was a strange match because at 1-0 up you were thinking well this is as good as it gets as we aint gunna score anymore. 1-0 and then lose at anfield. you were basically watching the match not fully believing theres a chance to go through as Liverpool were superior and still are as a team.
but the 2nd goal and 3rd came from no where and they are an incredible "bonus" goals.
i mean it looked like 1-0 or 1-1 and it's ended up 3-0. Just feels lucky.
