At this point, Bruno can retire/leave the Premier League as one of the best offensive midfielders in 21st Century. There are loads of stats as him creating more chances than anyone else (including Kevin De Bruyne who’s also an amazing chance creator).

I really don’t get the excuses of Hojlund having ‘shit service’ in the Premier League given who’s playing next to, but Hojlund is suddenly a lethal goalscorer in the UCL.

    Teams set up differently in the PL to the CL, and I’d argue that he’s probably been up against better defensive units in the PL at times.

    The chances he got in midweek (2 yard tap ins) haven’t been there in the PL, so it’s the quality of pass he’s had into those areas (if at all), and the way the defences have been set up too. The goals will come, he’ll just need to keep making the runs and poaching.
