Of course those minutes count but just pointing out # of games is even more misleading.Sorry yes, I'm going between databases and WhoScored doesn't go back beyond a certain date. The overall is from UEFA but they don't do season breakdowns (or my blurry eyes can't find them)
Point is you can't pick and choose someone's record. He has 11 goals in 14 starts in Europe over the last 5 years if that's your jam and you want to ignore the 11 sub appearances.
Out of interest, can you remember how many he's scored from the bench in Europe?
Edit: thanks for answering the last. That still doesn't work as he had whatever the total minutes he had as a sub to score too and only scored once. You can't just rule that time out as moot. Is why goals per minute is much more useful than per game in this case but fuck it if I can be arsed to work that out!
He scored once ever 161 mins (1 goal every 1.78 mins) which is the equivalent of 10 goals in 18 full games.
