Rayan Cherki delivered another masterclass in creativity, setting a new UEFA Europa League milestone by becoming the first player to notch eight assists in a single season.
The 21-year-old playmaker added two more assists in Lyon’s dominant victory over FCSB on Thursday, cementing his place in the competition’s history books.
His outstanding performances have been instrumental in Lyon’s European campaign, with the French club now preparing for a highly anticipated quarter-final showdown against Manchester United.
Cherki has been a key figure in Lyon’s attack this season, featuring in ten Europa League matches, scoring twice, and providing eight assists. His domestic form has been equally impressive, with six goals and nine assists in 21 Ligue 1 appearances.
With Lyon pushing for success on multiple fronts, they now shift their focus to their upcoming league clash against Le Havre on March 16. If Cherki maintains this level of play, more records could soon be within his reach.
