Useless but VERY interesting stats from European football in the 2019/20 season.

A thread.

Montpellier's Andy Delort has the most passes (47) with a body part registered as "other", meaning not with feet or head.

What could he possibly be using?

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold has the most switches of play in Europe this season (226). He also has made the most passes out of bounds (84), and taken the most throw-ins (404).

Busy lad.

Of the 16 players who played every minute of every 38 games, 15 of them played in the Premier League, and 9 of them were English.

Real Madrid's Eden Hazard had the highest 'Shot on target per shot' out of any player in Europe, with 73.7% of his shots ending up on target.

He only managed 1 goal from 19 shots.

Former Schalke teammates, Joel Matip and Teemu Pukki, have the highest and lowest aerial win rate in Europe this season, (90.2%), and (10.7%) respectively.

New Chelsea striker Timo Werner was caught offside 44 times this season, the most in European football...

The two most dispossessed players in Europe this season both play for Crystal Palace, Wilfried Zaha (172) and Jordan Ayew (108).

Villa's Jack Grealish carried the ball further in all directions than any other player in Europe (15,460 yards), not surprisingly, he was also the most fouled player in Europe (167).

Arguably the best two players in Europe this season, Lionel Messi and Kevin De Bruyne are joint top with most passes that got intercepted this season (61).

High risk, high reward.

Jordan Ayew was the only player to attempt over 1000 pressures in Europe this season, (1,018)

Roma had the highest aerial win % as a team (57.8), whilst Cagliari had the lowest (43.2).

Mohamed Salah was the only player in Europe to have over 300 touches in the opposition penalty area (318).

Burnley took the most "in-swinging" corner kicks (151), Roma took the most "out-swinging" corner kicks (134), whilst Arsenal took the most "straight" corner kicks (36).

Sheffield United had the highest average dribble success rate in Europe, with 67.4%.

Saucy.

Paderborn had the most nutmegs as a team, with 42.

Even more saucy.

Lionel Messi was the target for most passes in Europe this season (2,616).

One. Man. Team.

Spanish players played the most minutes this season, playing a combined 529,843 minutes.

Georgian players had the least minutes, with 2.
