EUROPA LEAGUE - ALFREDO MORALES IN THE TOP 3 !


Picture : he scored his goal number 31 in the Europa League against Dortmund !


Alfredo Morelos – all-time third best Europa League goal-scorer at the age of 25!

The Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos became joint third best goal-scorer in the whole history of Europa League, including all previous incarnations of this tournament since 1955 (Fair Cup, UEFA Cup).
Morelos who is just 25 year old achieved it after a goal he scored for Glasgow Rangers in the away game vs Borussia Dortmund (4-2) on 17 February.
Now Morelos has 31 goals at his Europa League tally, as many as Waldo (Fair Cup 1955-1971 record goal-scorer), Aritz Aduriz and his countryman Radamel Falcao. He is behind them in the all-time ranking due to tie-breaker (number of games).
Only Henrik Larsson and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar have scored more, 40 and 34 goals respectively.
Curiously, both best active goal-scorers of Europa League are Colombians (Falcao and Morelos).
