Why Kylian Mbappe is Europe’s least productive striker… (statistically)

Why Kylian Mbappe is Europe’s least productive striker… (statistically)

Well, sort of. He’s certainly got the lowest goal per shot ratio across Europe’s five biggest leagues. But then again, he does take a lot of shots. And now he’s got his eye in and he’s broken his duck, we can expect those numbers to change.

Plus, who won the transfer window? Tim Spiers is here and what he says may startle and alarm you. Because he’s been quite kind to Manchester United.

On that note, UEFA have done something good and constructive. And I, for one, am startled and alarmed.

Got something to say? Oh, please say it, it’s international week and we need the content. Post it on the app or send me an email (imacintosh@theathletic.com) or, you know, write a review on Apple.

Need something to read? Oli Kay is always excellent, but his column on the messiness of the transfer window is essential reading and the link is in the episode description.
