Henderson: Milner brags to us about CL assists record

Matt Stead

James Milner has ensured to remind his Liverpool teammates that he has the most assists in the Champions League this season.

Liverpool are on course to reach the quarter finals of this season’s competition after a resounding 5-0 victory away at Porto.

Milner laid on one goal in that win, taking his assist tally in the Champions League this campaign to six – two more than any other player.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says Milner has kept his teammates aware of that record.

“He has told a few of us that over the last couple of hours, to be fair!” he told Liverpoolfc.com.

“He is a fantastic player. It doesn’t really matter how old he is, he is as fit as anyone and you can see that on the pitch in how much he contributes to the team.

“He was brilliant again at Porto. He’s got a lot of assists in the Champions League, so hopefully he can continue it.”
