The Belgian star, Dres Mertens, Napoli, the Italian
player, entered the history on Tuesday evening,
with a superb goal that he scored against
Barcelona, to become the historical goalscorer after
the Slovak number figure Marik Marajek.
Mertens reached the 121st goal to equal the goals
of former captain Marek Sampaik, the historical and
most representative scorer for the team by a
number of matches, and he has the opportunity to
score more and set the record.
The goal of Mertens came from a pass from the
right that netted Barcelona in the 29th minute in the
first leg of the Champions League final with an “R2”
shot from outside the penalty area in the far left
corner of German goalkeeper Ter Stegen.
The Polish player Peter Zielinski took advantage of
a mistake by the left-back Barcelona player, Verbo,
to pass the ball to the unmarked Belgian, who
deposited the ball into the net with ease.
Mertens’ goal scored his 26th in the UEFA
Champions League during 64 matches in the Napoli
shirt and his sixth in the current edition
