It would not be strange if the former Bayern he beat himself. Last year he scored 26 goals in total in 49 games and in the first year he scored 33 in 46. The former leeds He has already done it, crushing any forecast or prediction. In 2023-2024 he achieved 10 in 37, while in 2022-2023 he also debuted with 10 but needing 50.
