The Pitmen’s midfielder has three goals and two assists in five group stage matches
On Tuesday, October 26, Shakhtar drew with Celtic in Glasgow, securing at least the playoffs of the Europa League. To advance to the 1/8 finals, the Donetsk team needs to beat Leipzig in the final match of the group stage.
In the first match with the German Bulls, which took place a month and a half ago, Mikhail Mudrik was the soloist in Shakhtar, who scored two goals and an assist. In yesterday’s match against Celtic, Mikhail once again played solo against the Pitmen. Mudrik has a beautiful goal that gave Shakhtar a draw, and if Daniil Sikan had been a little quicker, Mikhail could have chalked up an assist as well.
However, even with five points in the asset, Mudryk shares the third or fourth line in the list of the most useful players in the group stage of the tournament with Piotr Zielinski from Napoli. Above the Ukrainian and the Pole, only the two main stars of PSG and one of the best players in the world, Lionel Messi and Killian Mbappe, who have seven and eight points in the goal + pass system.
In total, 13 players made five or more effective actions in the group stage of the Champions League. In this list, Mudrik is second only to Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund in age and is the same age as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli. But in terms of his transfer value (assessment – Transfermarkt), the Ukrainian is the cheapest player on this list. True, there is no doubt: after this Champions League, the cost of Mikhail will increase many times over.
