I’ve tried to count the passes in the build up to Lucas’s second goal for Arsenal against Ludogorets but it’s like some sort of brain puzzler my mind isn’t wired to compute.
Whatever the number, it was quite the move. While it looked great on the TV, when you see it laid out in diagram form it looks even more impressive.
Can you count them? BTSport said that it was 32, but Opta say 33:
33 – There were 33 passes before Lucas Perez's second goal v Basel, no goal in the @ChampionsLeague has seen more passes this season. Move. pic.twitter.com/GLPqzHbajt
