36-year-old Inter Milan midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is one of the leaders in pre-assists this season among midfielders in Europe’s Top 5 leagues. According to DataMB, the Armenian veteran has recorded 6 such passes — the same number as 19-year-old PSG talent Désiré Doué.
The list also includes stars like Enzo Fernández (Chelsea), Granit Xhaka (Bayer Leverkusen), and Emile Smith Rowe (Fulham), but all trail behind the Mkhitaryan–Doué duo in this statistic.
Later today, on May 6, Mkhitaryan will play in the Champions League semifinal second leg against Barcelona. Tomorrow, on May 7, Doué and PSG will face Arsenal in the other semifinal clash.
