The assist came via a corner which sat up perfectly for Nicolas Gonzalez, whose finish was impeccable.
The dribbles twice Lo Celso cut and moved the ball away from the opposition to create space for himself and get away cracking passes.
The shot assists may seem tenuous to some, but the show how important a player Lo Celso is when it comes to creating chances for his ream mates.
All round, Giovani had a good game. A 94% passing accuracy, 63% of duels won and 11 recoveries of the ball, 6 of which were in the Paraguay half.
More, please.
