Embarba catches up with Raúl de Tomás and Sadiq

The scoreboard opened on Espanyol, on Saturday against Logroñés, with a millimeter center of Adrián Embarba to Javi Puado. And extended distances, just a couple of minutes later, with a Madrid's auction to the heel of Óscar Melendo. The former Rayo Vallecano not only He has already equaled the 11 passes that made him the top second assistant last season –Despite having left Vallecas mid-season to stop, precisely, at the RCDE Stadium, then in the First Division–, but with his production he is at the height of two of the great gunners of the season: his own teammate Raúl de Tomás and Umar Sadiq.

In addition to his 11 assists, Embarba has scored seven goals, which has contributed decisively to 18 goals in this Smartbank League, which are exactly the same ones in which RdT (divided into 16 goals and two assists) and the Nigerian forward of Almería (14 goals and four passes) have participated. Only Uros Djurdjevic escapes them, with an impressive record of 21 goals between goals (20) and assists (one). The sum of Montenegrin is the same as the only Spanish footballer capable of surpassing the figures of Embarba and Raúl de Tomás between First and Second: the experienced Gerard Moreno, who has 16 goals and five assists.

In what Nobody equals Embarba in all of professional football is in goal passes. His 11 assists are above eight in Second by Marc Mateu, which will precisely be his rival this Friday in Castellón, which are the same ones that in First accumulate four authentic ones out of series: Lionel Messi, Toni Kroos, Iago Aspas and Marcos Llorente. And the Madrid winger of Espanyol can still give more, who in the 2017-18 season, still at Rayo, attended 14 times and scored eight goals. That is your next challenge.
