Against Seattle, the side from the French capital recorded its 45th win of the season in all competitions. No side in Europe’s top 5 leagues has done as well. Luis Enrique’s men are another step closer to the club’s all-time record of 47 wins, established in the 2015-16 campaign.
Introduced off the bench against the MLS outfit, Bradley Barcola made an immediate impact on the Lumen Field. His assist for Achraf Hakimi, means the Rouge et Bleu forward has scored three goals and provided three assists since the start of May. Only Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (4 goals, 2 assists) can match the France international’s goal contributions for the team during that time.
Bradley is also a symbol of the consistency of Luis Enrique’s side. Monday’s match was his 60th appearance of the season in all competitions – only Federico Valverde of Real Madrid, with 61, has appeared more from Europe’s top 5 leagues. And Bradley has the stats to match, having scored 21 goals and provided 19 assists in that time.
Already one of the defensive foundations of previous seasons in Rouge et Bleu, this term Achraf Hakimi has added a new string to his bow – providential goal scorer! The Morocco international netted his tenth goal of the campaign, in all competitions, against the Seattle Sounders. It’s a single-season personal best for the right-back who also boasts the most goal contributions of any defender in Europe’s top 5 leagues, with 10 goals and 12 assists.
