Julián Joins Matagigantes: A Major Boost for the Team
Julián is living a second season with Atlético that feels more irregular than his first. His minutes are reduced. His Champions League form is exceptional.
Champions League excellence
He has scored nine goals in 1,008 minutes in this Champions edition. That tally makes him Atlético’s top scorer in a single Champions campaign. He surpassed Diego Costa’s previous mark of eight goals.
His latest strike was a direct free-kick that quieted the Camp Nou. He also converted a free-kick past Thibaut Courtois earlier this season.
- Eintracht — goal plus two assists.
- Union Saint-Gilloise — goal.
- Inter — goal.
- Club Brugge — goal.
- Tottenham — brace in the first leg and a goal in the return.
Domestic output and cup contributions
In LaLiga he has eight goals in 1,903 minutes. He added a cup goal against Barcelona.
That leaves him with 18 goals so far this season. He scored 29 the previous campaign.
Favourite continental opponents
Barcelona has been a frequent victim, with four goals in eight European meetings. Real Madrid leads with five goals in ten encounters.
Overall impact and involvement
Across all competitions he totals 24 goals and nine assists in 39 matches. He has a direct hand in 33 goals from 39 appearances.
Those figures highlight his clutch performances on big nights. The Metropolitano has reason to celebrate his presence.
