Paco Alcácer: How Europe's Most In-Form Goalscorer Is Already Making Barcelona Squirm

Scoring more goals than Marco Reus, Timo Werner and even Luka Joviu0107 during an initial loan spell in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund's Paco Alcácer made a clear statement last season that Barcelona jumped the gun by not giving him a chance to impress in Catalonia.

He made 50 appearances at Barcelona but struggled to play more than 45 minutes during each run-out, spending most of his time as the club's fourth-choice striker and ultimately leaving with his tail between his legs after not being given the opportunity to shine.

But with nine goals for club and country during the 2019/20 season, Alcácer has established himself as European football's most in-form striker and he's already got his sights set on facing Barcelona in Dortmund's Champions League group stage opener.
