5 players who have scored most away goals in Europe this season (2021-22)
The 2021-22 season has been full of goals and the best attackers in Europe have stepped up to the plate when their teams have needed them the most.Scoring away from home remains a bigger challenge for the top marksmen of the game despite the familiarity bred by the modern game.
Most teams historically defend better at home. This makes it all the harder for a striker to open up the opposition backline, especially with most of the fans cheering and supporting the home team. Yet, some players have been able to defy all the odds and find the net on a regular basis away from home.

An all-round centre-forward, Schick can drop deep and facilitate play while he is also good in the penalty box.
Moreover, after they finished 6th in the league last year, the Czech Republic ace has done well to get his side 3rd halfway through the current campaign. The striker has so far contributed to 33% of his club's goals, finding the net 19 times. But what is even more commendable is that 8 of them have been away from home in crucial ties.
At 26, Schick could become one of the best in the Bundesliga if he continues to score at his own free will against every single team.
