Happy birthday to Mesut Özil, one of the greatest playmakers of his generation. 〽️

⁠
Will anyone break these records?⁠
⁠
During the 2015/16 Premier League season, Özil created 146 chances for Arsenal. Not only is that the most recorded in a single Premier League campaign, it’s also the most racked up in a top-five European league season since Opta records began in 2003/04.⁠

And there’s still three more records to tell you about…⁠
⁠
In April 2011, Özil created 12 chances during Real Madrid’s 4-0 win against Spurs. That's the most recorded in a 90-minute Champions League match.⁠
⁠
In November 2015, Özil provided an assist in a seventh consecutive Premier League game, the longest streak in the competition's history.⁠
⁠
In May 2017, Özil created another dozen chances against Sunderland, the most recorded in a single Premier League game.⁠
⁠
To finish, a reminder that no player provided more assists than Mesut Özil during the following competitions:⁠
⁠
◉ 2009/10 Bundesliga⁠
◉ 2010 World Cup⁠
◉ 2011/12 LaLiga⁠
◉ 2012 Euros⁠
◉ 2015/16 Premier League⁠
