This is exactly why I hate seeing assists in the same bracket with goals. You can get an assist simply by just passing to someone who scores, while a player can create several big chances in a match without registering a single assist.
🚨🎙️ Gianluigi Buffon on the Cristiano Ronaldo moment they always talked about at Juventus:
🗣️ “The Cristiano Ronaldo moment we always talked about at Juventus was that game against Barcelona.
After Barcelona beat Juventus 2–0 in Turin, Barça’s official account posted a picture of Messi with the message basically saying:
‘Glad you got to see the GOAT on your pitch.’
Juventus replied with a warning: ‘Wrong dictionary — we’ll bring you the right one to Camp Nou.’
Then December 8 came.
Camp Nou.
Ronaldo was back.
Juventus won 3–0. Ronaldo scored twice.
And after the final whistle, Juventus went back to that old exchange and delivered the line:
‘We kept our word: we brought it.’
We were so happy with that result that we talked about it in the dressing room for months.
We said to each other, ‘We wish this guy had joined us when he was young.’ 🥹
Cristiano is a player who can decide a game on his own.” 🐐🇵🇹
