    There isn't a written rule by FIFA or UEFA what counts as an assist and what doesn't. That's why the numbers differ from source to source and the differences are sometimes surprisingly big.

    Since it's nothing official, I decided to follow ESPNs way of counting assists. They count them in a way that it's an assist if noone else touches the ball between the pass and the shot which ends up with a goal.

    So, if one says that player X should have 10 assists instead of 7 and supports his statement with examples (the way princepino did above) I can't really say that he's wrong. It's just that I started counting them the way ESPN does it and until FIFA and UEFA come up with an official rule, I guess I should continue doing this the way I'm doing it for years now.

    I just make it up as I go along when doing my stats for Aberdeen.

    In that spirit I started awarding 'half' assists to cover awkward situations, which is what I would have given Vucinic for Marchisio's first against Milan.

    Yeah, but you get silly situations.

    Does Marchisio really deserve an assist against Milan for playing a simple pass to Vucinic who then smashed it in the top corner from long range?

    but my friend on ESPN they claim that Vucinic has only 4 assists .... and Pirlo has 9 !!!! how come >>>
    They made a mistake on the match against Fiorentina. For Pirlo's goal they give Pirlo both the goal AND the assist :D
    That's how Mirko got robbed of an assist and Pirlo got one more assist than he has.

    Like I said, it's not official so everyone makes mistakes and they come up with different numbers.

    the best defence amongst all of Europe's top leagues.

    17 goals conceded in 30 matches, ratio of 0.57 goals/game
