Social Zone: Teemu Pukki is better than Cristiano Ronaldo? Plus Declan Rice pokes fun at Lyon
The stats from 2022 suggest you'd rather have Norwich's Teemu Pukki leading the line than Cristiano Ronaldo. Plus, after a 3-0 drubbing in France, West Ham captain Declan Rice couldn't resist a tweet.
It's a crucial clash for both sides on the weekend as Manchester United face Norwich, and if these stats are anything to go by, Cristiano Ronaldo will be far from being the biggest threat on the pitch.

Barcelona were knocked out of the Europa League to Frankfurt last night, and Barca manager Xavi believes his side made an error when it came to ticket distribution.
Going by this footage, I think he may have a point - Frankfurt had over 30,000 supporters roaring in the Camp Nou.

Rangers also squeezed their way into the Europa League semis, and it's produced an incredible stat that shows just how much of an achievement this is for the Scottish side.
1967 - Rangers have won a European knockout tie in extra-time for the first time since November 1967 in the second round of the Fairs Cup against FC Köln, a match which Sir Alex Ferguson started for the Gers. Indomitable. pic.twitter.com/yqiEiLUq0s
