Bayer Leverkusen and Patrik Schick played against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 19th round of the Bundesliga. Werkself won 2-1 at Borussia Park and jumped to third place in the league table, which secures qualification for the Champions League. Patrik Schick scored a goal but didn’t take a penalty, how did his performance look in terms of numbers?
Patrik Schick faced a tough task before the game. His rival for the top scorer’s crown, Robert Lewandowski, scored a hat-trick against poor Cologne.
The Czech forward tried his best and eventually scored, but chasing down the Polish sniper is simply an extremely difficult task. Schicky produced an incredible number of shots (8), four of which went between the three posts. The 25-year-old striker took the most shots of any player on the pitch.
Leverkusen’s attacking ace unfortunately missed a penalty in the 50th minute and only scored his 18th goal of the season in the 74th minute after a standard situation.
Schick was again one of the best players of the match, but this time he was overshadowed by two men. Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer. He converted two penalties and made a total of 12 saves. According to the xG statistics, he could have scored 6.69 goals, but he was up against it.
WhoScored has given Sommer a flawless rating of 10! That’s quite exceptional for a goalkeeper. Even his teammate Florian Wirtz (9.36) got a higher rating than Patrik Schick. He made 7 key passes and 6 dribbles for an 18 year old
Patrik Schick got an above-standard mark of 7.59. During the game he had 35 touches of the ball, won three header duels, had an 81% pass success rate, made one key pass and added two successful dribbles.
Defensively, the Czech striker won the ball back into Leverkusen’s possession twice. Once in a foot-to-foot duel and once he intercepted an opponent’s pass.
