Squawka recently revealed the top 10 players over the age of 30 with the highest goals and assists in the past season (across the top 7 European leagues).
Top 10 - Joao Mario: 24 goals & assists. The Portuguese midfielder is the only central midfielder on this list.
Top 9 - Neymar: 24 goals & assists (ranked higher due to fewer playing minutes). If not for a serious injury towards the end of the season, Neymar's statistics would have been even more impressive.
Top 8 - Wissam Ben Yedder: 25 goals & assists. Despite not receiving much media attention, the French striker has consistently maintained a solid performance in recent seasons.
Top 7 - Dusan Tadic: 29 goals & assists. Despite Ajax Amsterdam's trophyless season, Tadic has still showcased the class of a top-tier player.
Top 6 - Mehdi Taremi: 29 goals & assists. The forward, strongly linked with Manchester United, is the only Asian player on this list.
Top 5 - Robert Lewandowski: 30 goals & assists. In contrast to other top stars, instead of moving to Saudi Arabia, the Polish striker plans to continue playing in Europe, and undoubtedly, he possesses the quality to join Barcelona.
Top 4 - Mohamed Salah: 31 goals & assists. The 31-year-old forward maintained top form in a disastrous season for Liverpool.
Top 3 - Antoine Griezmann: 31 goals & assists. The French striker has truly rediscovered his lost form with exceptional performances in the past season.
Top 2 - Alexandre Lacazette: 32 goals & assists. After being pushed out by Arsenal, the 32-year-old star unexpectedly flourished upon returning to Lyon.
Top 1 - Lionel Messi: 32 goals & assists. Although still capable of playing at the highest level, the Argentine forward ultimately decided to leave Europe this summer.
