Pedro Gonçalves matches Sporting’s legendary record | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves equaled 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 central midfielder, continues to set records in the service of the Alvalade Club.

In the goal that tied Sporting - Marseille, it was Pedro Gonçalves who made the pass to Geny Catamo. Pote - as he is known in the football world - reached, at that moment, 53 assists for the lions, which puts him at the same record as the former captain of the Alvalade Club, Pedro Barbosa.

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

It should be remembered that, for many seasons, assist records were not counted, or at least this did not happen in all competitions. Therefore, Sporting emphasizes the "recent history" to highlight the two midfielders who shone at Alvalade.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at 30 million euros - has already played 13 games: eight in the Liga Portugal, three in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. During the 1,093 minutes he was used, the 'number 8' of the lions has already scored six goals and four assists.
