Higuain was (and has always been) a brilliant goalscorer in domestically, scoring goals and showing up like there's no tomorrow.
Unfortunately, that's not the reason why Higuain had previously the highest salary of all Serie A players (€7.5m)
He was signed with only one objective: Bring the Champions League for Juventus
Sadly, Higuain has failed in that task as he failed to be decisive in far too many UCL KO-stage games.
There's a reason why Real Madrid have won 4 UCLs in the past 5 seasons with Benzema up-front instead of Higuain.
Yes, Ronaldo, Modric, Bale, Marcelo, Ramos....
Yeah... Let's ignore that Benzema made 44 goals in 85 UCL-matches (averaging 0,52 goal/game) throughout his entire RM-career and is 4th highest top scorer ever in the tournament's history if we include his numbers from Lyon. Scored 16 goals in UCL KO-stage and many of them were decisive for helping RM going through. Since 2013-14 season, Benzema has accomplished nearly 25 goals in 50 games.
For comparison, Higuain made a grand total of 9 goals in 48 matches for Real Madrid.
Absolutely pathetic record from him. RM made the right decision for get rid of Higuain and make Benz as undisputed No.1
Real Madrid would not have won their 4 UCL-titles in 5 seasons with Higuain up-front lol
"Tra i giocatori attualmente in attività, solamente Ronaldo (395), Messi (383), Ibrahimovic (268) e Cavani (228), hanno segnato più gol di Gonzalo #Higuain (218) nei migliori 5 campionati europei. Valore" - OPTA
So only Ronaldo, Messi, Ibra and Cavani have scored more goals than him in top 5 leagues.
What's the point for showing that stat?
Even his biggest detractors won't deny that Higauin is a amazing goalscorer in league competitions.
