Barcelona recorded a commanding 3-0 home win over Aston Villa in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, with Joao Cancelo providing the assist for the final goal.
The full-back produced an outstanding cross with the outside of his boot from the left in the 64th minute. Raphinha met the delivery at close range and finished to complete the scoring.
It was Cancelo’s second assist in this season’s Champions League. Across Barcelona’s opening four matches, he has started every game and completed all 90 minutes on each occasion.
The Portugal international has contributed one goal and two assists during that run, meaning he has been directly involved in three goals.
His attacking figures have been matched by a strong defensive contribution. Cancelo has made eight tackles and six clearances in the four matches, underlining his impact at both ends of the pitch.
