21 assists! Bruno Fernandes surpassed the record set by Térence Henry and Kevin De Bruyne in one season’s history. The Portuguese midfielder became the best playmaker in English Premier League history. As captain of Manchester United, he recorded 21 assists, one more than the legendary Térence Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, who shared that achievement before him.

Fernandes achieved this feat at the end of the season, demonstrating unprecedented stability and tactical maturity. His vision for the field, his accuracy in making final passes, and his ability to find teammates in the opponent’s defensive zone were key factors in the team’s attacking strength.

De Bruyne’s record of 20 assists in the 2019/20 season, and Henry’s record of 20 assists in the 2002/03 season, were considered unmatched in modern football, where the burden of playing playmakers falls on several players. But Bruno took on the role of the team’s main playmaker, delivering crucial passes in decisive matches, without slowing down the team’s pace even under a tight schedule.

Experts say that this achievement isn’t just statistics, but also a sign of Fernandes’ evolution. From an aggressive attacking player, he became a calm and strategic playmaker, capable of changing the game with just one pass. His leadership on the field and in the dressing room made this record a natural outcome of the season.

Now, Bruno Fernandes’ name is etched in the annals of English Premier League history. The question is whether anyone else will be able to replicate or even surpass this achievement in the coming years. For now, the Portuguese player enjoys his deserved victory, and the English Premier League has gained a new standard of playmaking skills.
