REVEALED: Europe's most clinical striker excluding penalties. And It's NOT even Lewandowski
When talking about most prolific scorer in world football these days, you're used to hearing names such as Benzema, Mbappe, Lewandowski, or even Ronaldo or Messi up until a couple of seasons of course.
Interestingly, Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick has all of the aforementioned attackers beat, when it comes to non-penalty goals.
Schick scored 24 goals in the Bundesliga last season, with only one of those coming from a penalty. Comparitively, Ronaldo scored 18 goals in the Premier League - out of which 3 were from penalties.
Schick had the best non-penalty goals ratio last season, averaging 0.97 non-pen goals per 90 minutes (via FBREF) last season. Cristiano's non-penalty goal average was around 0.61 last season.
