While that doesn't quite fit the feel of scoring goals, providing assists is one of the most satisfying things a footballer can achieve on the pitch.
Whether it's splitting the defense in half with a puncture ball or whipping a cross for a runner on a near post, the person who creates the chance is just as important as the one who adds the last touch.
In last season's Bundesliga, Bayern Munich's Thomas Müller became the assists king with an impressive 11 goals, while Eintracht Frankfurt's Filip Kostic was second with 14 assists. The usual suspects are Jadon Sancho, Kingsley Coman, Joshua Kimich and Raphael Guerreiro
So, as the 2021/22 season unfolds, Bayern want to preserve their 10th consecutive wins for Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig, using the table below to record who has provided the most assists in the German top flight.
