Cristhian Stuani came very close to an intriguing record today. The Girona forward, having scored against Barcelona, matched Julio Salinas' record for the number of goals in La Liga after coming off the bench. Interestingly, Salinas scored 20 of his 28 goals while wearing the Barcelona shirt.
Details: Currently, both Salinas and Stuani have 28 goals scored as substitutes. However, the 37-year-old Girona veteran could surpass this record on his own this season.
Recall: Notably, this season, the Uruguayan has already scored after coming off the bench. Following his goal against Osasuna, Stuani caught up with the legendary Lionel Messi in this regard. During his career at Barcelona, the Argentine star came on as a substitute in 56 matches and scored 27 goals, the last of which was in February 2021, shortly before his move to PSG.
