Domenico Berardi continues to etch his name into Sassuolo`s history books with extraordinary achievements. The latest testament to his prowess arrived in the match against Udinese, where the talented Calabrian forward delivered a crucial assist for Laurienté`s goal. This pivotal moment not only secured points but also reaffirmed Berardi`s status as the undisputed leader of the Neroverdi. While his influence is well-known, Mimmo`s consistent performance and impressive statistics are now elevating him to a truly European dimension.
With that key assist against Udinese, Berardi has now accumulated an astonishing 84 career assists, with a remarkable 80 of those specifically in Serie A. This places him at an incredible third position for assists in Italy since 2004, a feat that sees him trailing only two legendary figures: Antonio Candreva (85 assists) and Francesco Totti (92 assists). Having recently surpassed the likes of Marek Hamsik, Berardi has firmly cemented his reputation as one of the premier playmakers in the Italian championship.
However, the true depth of his impact and a profound testament to his overall brilliance become strikingly evident when examining his comprehensive contribution to Sassuolo. With an impressive tally of 123 goals and 80 assists in Serie A, Berardi has magnificently surpassed the monumental benchmark of 200 direct goal involvements for his club. This extraordinary and sustained level of performance rightfully positions him among the elite echelon of players in Europe`s most prominent leagues.
The charismatic “Neroverdi” captain now finds himself in an exclusive and highly revered club – an elite group comprising only five active footballers who have successfully crossed this significant threshold of over 200 direct goal involvements in recent years. This stellar and distinguished list features global footballing icons such as Lionel Messi, Mohamed Salah, Luis Suárez, Neymar, and, joining their illustrious ranks, Sassuolo`s very own phenomenal talent, Domenico Berardi.
