All sort of stats are dredged up to highlight the significance of Morelos the most recent being goals scored in UEFA competitions before Christmas. As everyone knows no trophies are medals are handed out alongside the decorations.
Today readers of the Daily Record and Sun are being comforted by the news that Fredo is two goals short of being in the Top Five European goalscorers of 2019!
Never before has any relevance been given to the top five goalscorers over a calendar year- and never before have goals against part-timers from Gibraltar been counted outside of the rock.
