Pedro Gonçalves matches Sporting’s legendary milestone | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves has matched Pedro Barbosa in the number of assists made while wearing the lion on his chest. The green and white player, who can play as a winger or as a central midfielder, continues to rack up records in service of the Alvalade club.

In the goal that equalized the Sporting - Marseille match, it was Pedro Gonçalves who provided the pass to Geny Catamo. Pote - as he is known in the football world - reached, at that moment, 53 assists for the lions, putting him level with the former Alvalade club captain, Pedro Barbosa.

Sporting highlighted the achievement of the green and white player with a post on social media, where the caption reads: "Kings of assists! Pedro Gonçalves has matched Pedro Barbosa as the player with the most assists in the recent history of the Lions: 53 assists".

It’s worth remembering that, for many seasons, assist records were not kept, or at least not in all competitions. For this reason, Sporting emphasizes the "recent history" to highlight the two midfielders who shone at Alvalade.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Pedro Gonçalves – valued at 30 million euros – has already played 13 matches: eight in Liga Portugal, three in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. During the 1,093 minutes he has played, the ‘number 8’ of the lions has already scored six goals and provided four assists.
