The FIFA International break provides us with the opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy some scintillating international football. In this particular FIFA break, we will also get to find the fate of various countries regards qualifications for Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup. It promises to be an exciting one.
But as we embark on this FIFA International Break, let's take a look at how some of Europe's top guns have performed so far statistically.
The Premier League, England.
Mohammed Salah's spectacular form so far has ensured that he's stayed top of the pile in both goals and assists standings. The Egyptian is having probably his best start to a new campaign since arriving at Anfield scoring 10 times in 11games with 7 assists to his name which is also the same number of assists for Manchester United's Paul Pogba. Behind Mo Salah in the goal scorers chart is Leicester City's talisman, Jamie Vardy.
La Liga Santander, Spain.
Like in the English League, one man seems to be running the show in the Spanish top flight. That one man is Karim Benzema. The French International has been an inspiration to watch this season with 10 goals and 7 assists to his name. Benzema has struck a wonderful partnership with Vinicius Jr. this season. It is no surprise that Vinicius is second in the goal standings with 7 strikes to his name. Second, on the assists standing is Rayo Vallecano's, Oscar Trejo.
Serie A, Italy
Top of the goal standing in the Italian Serie is Lazio's Ciro Immobile. Immobile, a familiar name on this list in the past couple of seasons has been firing from all cylinders. Second on the list is Giovanni Simeone, son of Diego Simeone. Top of the assists standings is Nicolo Barella with 5.
Bundesliga, Germany.
A man in a world of his own when it comes to scoring goals, Robert Lewandowski is the leading scorer with 13 goals already to his name this campaign. That makes him the leading scorer in Europe's top five leagues. Just behind him is Erling Haaland who has 9 to his name. It's safe to say now that Thomas Muller has no rival when it comes assist making in the Bundesliga. He's got 8 already this campaign. Youngster, Florian Wirtz is just behind with 6 assists.
Ligue 1, France.
With the arrival of Leo Messi at the Parc Des Princes, one would expected him to hit the ground running with plethora of goals and assists, but unfortunately that hasn't been the case. As a matter of fact, no PSG player is in the top 6 in the goal scorers chart. Montpellier's Gaetan Laborde Lille's Jonathan David are joint top with 8 goals each. Kylian Mbappe, Jonathan Clauss of Lens and Moses Simon all have 6 assists to their name.
