🚀 | Long-range master
Désiré Doué has now scored 4 goals from outside the box in his #UCL career, with no other player scoring more such goals since Doué made his debut in the competition.
A week after netting from long range v Manchester City, he does it again v Barcelona! 🔥

His best performance in a Real Madrid shirt to date leads Los Blancos to a comfortable win 🇨🇮🌟
🔥 | As clinical as it gets
What do you get when you combine an own goal, a goal from the halfway line and a goal from the edge of the box?
Three goals from two total shots and a combined xG of 0.12 in the opening ten minutes for Brighton 😳
💯 | Crossing perfection
Since 2015/16, only three players have attempted 7+ crosses in one match in Europe's T5 leagues and completed every single one:
• Robert Skov on 22 Feb 2020 (7/7)
• Lucas Digne on 5 October 2025 (7/7)
• Florian Thauvin on 17 October 2026 (7/7) 🆕
A spotless display by the Lens' star man against Troyes 🎯
@pythaginboots Actually, a perfect comparison is Alex Iwobi from today – just 3 key passes, but two of those have been big chances created, and in total his passing accumulated to 0.95 xA, meaning his passing value is higher than Wirtz's and contributed more to his higher Sofascore Rating.
💎 | Maybe not next Monday, but next year...
