A scorer, but also best passerby From the history of the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo We could see his assist tally (42) surpassed in a few months. In fact, while his first pursuer, Lionel Messi (40 years old), is out of the running, because he plays in the United States, it is the current third, Angel Di Maria, who could steal his place.
The attacker from SL Benfica He has provided a total of 39 assists and, unlike the first two, he still plays in Europe, for a club competing in C1. El Videoo also has an advantage over the Portuguese because with the new format adopted by UEFA, the clubs play two additional matches in the regular stage, plus a possible return trip in the qualifiers.
With three assists, Di Maria will equal Cristiano Ronaldo, with four he will surpass him. But note that he has not provided at least four assists since the 2020/2021 season (with Paris Saint-Germain). But if he succeeds, Cristiano will still be able to say that he is the best passer in the classic version. And he will not be wrong.
