This stat really surprises me ngl.
Not appreciated enough, not praised enough.
Thank God we have him
if I could get just 1 assist I am sure I can be a higher assister than vini
Where the doubters at? The Mbappe lapdogs mocking & blaming him
he had a assist yesterday?

He can really demolish this record
So he got the assist for the second goal? The pass was deflected (slightly) by the defender.
What are the accepted rules on deciding if an assist gets awarded?
To decide if a deflected goal is an own goal or not, the accepted rules is that if the ball was going in between the posts, the deflection does not make it an own goal. A shot off target that gets deflected, becomes an own goal.
Back in the day when playing PES (getting old), assists were quite strict: no deflected passes, no assist given if the goal scorer had a lot of touches or dribbled the entire field, etc.
**Edit: I went down the rabbit hole and found this:**
Assists
A player gets points for an assist whenever he plays the final pass, cross, header or shot which leads to a goal. This also applies to set plays (corners, free-kicks and throw-ins).
Players also get points for an assist if a goal is scored on the rebound after a shot against the post or bar – or if the rebound comes off an opposing player.
When it comes to passes, it must be deemed an intentional pass to count as an assist. Miscontrolled touches or other unintentional passes that go straight to a team-mate are not counted.
An assist can be made with any legal part of the body as long as it’s deemed intentional.
If the attacking player’s pass takes a small deflection which doesn’t significantly change the direction of the pass, it will still be given as an assist.
They also get points for an assist when their pass, shot or cross leads to an own goal.

Yeah unfortunately this CL have different format so it is kinda lose its point for comparisons. Anw good for vini tho
already a madrid and football legend at 25
Guy is our top assist maker in the CL and scored in our last two champions league finals. One of them being 1-0 win. A legend already and hasn’t even hit his prime. What I would give to see him and Haaland paired together . That’s a combo that would actually work
Love that he slowly is picking up form … He was solid yesterday
Lames see this an still call him selfish or want him sold 🤣 apparently the only stats they read is Goals 🤡
Who’s the highest assist in the CL of all time for all clubs?
I’m so glad Vini is giving it his all
He’s not perfect but my god, when he’s on he’s goddamn amazing
Vamos Vini!
Hala Madrid!
That is kind of insane !
For all the hate he gets , even by the fans, he’s an amazing player
