Bizarre stat: Real Madrid star bagged his first-ever La Liga assist vs Leganés | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic, centering on Real Madrid star Arda Güler, has come to the fore on Sunday evening.

This comes owing to the 19-year-old’s exploits en route to Real’s La Liga downing of Leganés.

Los Blancos are fresh off securing another dominant three points, thanking goals on the part of Kylian Mbappé, Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham for an eventual 3-0 downing of capital rivals Leganés.

The aforementioned Güler, meanwhile, was afforded a rare start in the clash, featuring in an inverted role on the right wing.

And the Turkish international took full advantage of the opportunity, conjuring up a host of brilliant touches and runs amid a standout individual display.

Güler managed to chip in with an assist, too, laying the ball off for Valverde to rifle home a fine free-kick during the 2nd-half.

And as much, as alluded to above, gave rise to an altogether surprising statistic.

As revealed by StatMuse:

‘Arda Güler provides his first ever assist in LaLiga. It’s his first club assist in two seasons.’
