JUST HOW GOOD HAS GÜNDOGAN BEEN FOR BARCA 🔥
(A THREAD)
🏆 La Liga + Champions League
- 1 goal & 5 assists
Gündogan has played in a deeper role most of his time for Barca. He has controlled the tempo and distributed passes. Still, that’s not all…
In La Liga, Gündogan has registered the highest xA (expected assists) out of all the players - 4.4. He has hit the fourth most passes leading to a shot (31). The former Manchester City captain has been a consistent chance creator.
Speaking of control, Gündogan has completed the most passes in Barca’s squad: 919 🥇
Only Ter Stegen has played more long passes…
Defending is not his strongest side, but his game iq is at another level. This has allowed him to read the play and make more interceptions than any other Barca player.
Gündogan has the most touches in the middle of the pitch, as well as the final third (994 combined). He has received 879 passes . 100+ more than the second on the list. Always available in possession.
In the Champions League the trend is the same. Gündogan has the fifth highest expected assists in the tournament. He has the most assists among Barca players (2) 🥇
You can’t help but draw lines between Gündogan and his coach. Xavi was able to dominate games, while also being extremely decisive in the final third.
Gündogan has been exactly that. He adds TONS of value. He is one of few players who manage to do both things at a high level:
Control and create. Enjoy him while he is here.
