ian1964 10,415 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Alfredo Morelos of Rangers has become the first player to score 14 goals before Christmas in a European season. Alfredo Morelos has aleady made history in this season's UEFA Europa League – and the Rangers striker could yet snatch a further record from Colombian compatriot Radamel Falcao. ALL THE UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE STATS Morelos was the top scorer in UEFA Europa League qualifying this season with eight goals, and added a group-stage leading six to take Rangers to the round of 32. The total of 14 is the most ever scored by a player in a UEFA football club competition before Christmas. It is enough to leave Morelos already in joint sixth for the most goals scored in a whole UEFA men's club competition season, and just four off the record of Falcao, set in helping Porto win the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League. In that campaign, Falcao scored in the first leg of the play-off round before claiming 17 in the competition proper, the same tally as Cristiano Ronaldo's total in Real Madrid's 2013/14 UEFA Champions League triumph. The record for the UEFA Women's Champions League is 15 by Lyon's Ada Hegerberg in 2017/18, while the most in any European club competition was André Vanderlei's 19 for Action 21 Charleroi in the 2003/04 UEFA Futsal Cup.

Scott7 5,168 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 He’s really quite good. Cant think of any other player who can play centre forward and also inside right in the same match. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
