Christian equals second-best season for goal involvements at Cruzeiro | OneFootball

An important part of Cruzeiro since last year, midfielder Christian continues to rack up impressive numbers in Artur Jorge’s team. The player’s numbers in 2026 help highlight one of the most offensively productive seasons of the midfielder’s career.

According to a Sofascore survey, the player currently has 10 goal involvements this year and, for the second time in his career, has reached the mark with seven goals scored and three assists in 31 matches played. The other season in which he hit that mark came in 2024, when he was still playing for Athletico-PR and finished the year with six goals and four assists in 53 matches.

In addition, 2026 also represents just the second time in Christian’s career that he has scored seven goals in the same season. The first time came in 2023, also for Athletico-PR, when he found the net seven times and provided two assists in 41 matches.

As a result, the player has matched his highest-scoring season and is now just one goal away from setting the best individual total of his career in that category.

The offensive numbers come alongside heavy minutes and frequent involvement with the team throughout the year. Christian is currently one of the most-used players in Cruzeiro’s squad in 2026, a situation that reflects the run of games he has been given amid a schedule split between the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, and Libertadores.
