Update: https://thelastboyscout.uk/assets/img/son_xg_stats.webp

We use actual goals minus expected goals (xG) as a proxy for finishing skill. Players who consistently score more than their xG means they are scoring goals other players would miss. Generally, only the most elite goalscorers *consistently* outperform their xG.

And I can find no player who consistently beats Son. It's astonishing.

It would be a more fair reflection of Messi if we were to remove his latest three seasons. If you take only his data between 17-18 and 20-21 then his over performance is 36%, not too far *behind* our Sonny.
