Eldor Shomurodov has been participating in the Italian championship since October 2020. The 29-year-old forward is our player who has played the most matches in the top 5 European leagues. Additionally, Eldor has become the first Uzbek legionnaire to score in the top five championships and the one with the most goals.
Year by year, the number of teams suffering from our compatriot's precise strikes is increasing. Among them are powerful clubs that have their place in world football.
The Sports.uz portal calculated which teams Eldor Shomurodov has scored against since settling in Italy. Now we present this interesting information to Uzbek football fans.
Shomurodov's debut season in Serie A is considered the most successful. In the 2020-2021 season, our legionnaire, representing Italy's oldest team "Genoa," scored eight goals in the championship.
Eldor scored his first goal in Serie A against "Parma." Subsequently, our compatriot scored once against "Sassuolo," "Verona," "Spezia," "Lazio," and "Cagliari," while he recorded his first double in a match against "Atalanta."
After the season, Eldor Shomurodov moved to "Roma," a club mentioned among the grand teams. In his first season at the capital club, our forward scored against "Venezia" in two matches and once against "Sampdoria."
Moreover, in that season, he scored against "Lecce" in the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup, marking his first goals in this competition.
Eldor's next goal in the championship came while he was on loan at "Spezia." In this team, our compatriot left the goalkeeper of "Salernitana," Guillermo Ochoa, helpless.
Shomurodov spent the next season at "Cagliari." That season, remembered for a severe injury, saw effective actions that coincided with the second half of the championship. Shomurodov found the net against "Salernitana" again, just like a year ago. This time, the Uzbek player forced Guillermo Ochoa to retrieve the ball from his net twice.
Then, he scored against the powerful "Inter," saving "Cagliari" from defeat, and the accumulated point later helped the Sardinians maintain their position in the top division.
Finally, at the beginning of the current season, Eldor's goal against "Empoli" became the first goal of the championship for "Roma," and this strike ensured Shomurodov's stay in Rome.
Later, our compatriot's shots were not saved by the goalkeepers of "Monza" and "Juventus."
It should be noted that the captain of the Uzbekistan national team also accurately targeted the "Sampdoria" goal in this season's Italian Cup.
Another interesting fact: Shomurodov has also opened his scoring account in prestigious UEFA tournaments as a "Roma" player. Specifically, in the first season of the Conference League, Eldor Shomurodov scored against Turkey's "Trabzonspor," and ultimately "Roma" won the main prize in this competition.
Later, our legionnaire scored against Bulgaria's "Ludogorets" in the Europa League. During the current season's competition, Eldor left the goalkeepers of powerful clubs like Germany's "Eintracht" and Spain's "Athletic" helpless.
