Everyone knows about Cristiano Ronaldo’s goalscoring prowess and his multiple records, but his generosity is perhaps underrated and it may have gone under the radar that he also has the most assists - as well as goals - in Champions League history.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has attempted twice as many take-ons as his Chelsea teammates:
◉ Callum Hudson-Odoi (4)
◉ Cesar Azpilicueta (2)
◉ Ruben Loftus-Cheek (1)
Brilliant.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s generosity: Most assists in the Champions League
Everyone knows about Cristiano Ronaldo’s goalscoring prowess and his multiple records, but his generosity is perhaps underrated and it may have gone under the radar that he also has the most assists - as well as goals - in Champions League history.
Counting since the 1992/93 season, no player in the modern Champions League era has as many assists as Ronaldo, although two current Paris Saint-Germain stars are not far behind.
The Portuguese forward as 43 assists in 183 Champions League games, while Lionel Messi has 36 in 152 and Angel Di Maria has 34 in 95.
Hakim Ziyech has scored his first goal for Chelsea since netting in the UEFA Super Cup against Villarreal in August.
The goal-drought is finally over.
Chelsea have now played 20 away games under Thomas Tuchel:
