Sporting stalwart matches Pedro Barbosa’s record | OneFootball

Pedro Barbosa's assist record at Sporting has been matched by Pedro Gonçalves. The Lions’ player has marked an era at the Alvalade club, with three national titles won and many records broken while wearing the lion on his chest.

In the goal that leveled Sporting - Marseille, 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, which puts him on par with the former Alvalade club captain, Pedro Barbosa.

Kings of assists! Pedro Gonçalves has 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 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 Lions’ number 8 has already scored six goals and provided four assists.
