Villarreal star overtakes Jude Bellingham in La Liga charts | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic, highlighting the impressive debut campaign being enjoyed by Villarreal star Thierno Barry, has this evening come to the fore online.

This comes fresh off an outing to remember for the young attacker, against Leganés.

Villarreal are fresh off a much-needed return to winning ways, having put five past Leganés in an all-action affair at The Estadio Municipal de Butarque.

Barry, for his part, featured from the off, and went on to prove himself the star of the show.

As much came by way of a fine hat-trick, rounded out midway through the 2nd-half.

The Frenchman, across 17 appearances in the colours of Villarreal to date, has now racked up an impressive haul of seven goals and two assists.

And such numbers are enough to secure for Barry sole ownership of the title of the top U22 scorer in La Liga in 2024/25.

As per statisticians StatMuse, the attacker has overtaken Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham in the category, owing to his hat-trick at Leganés.
