Raheem Sterling hits Man City goal standard ahead of contract talks
10.05.2022 - 09:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
As Manchester City sent an emphatic message to Merseyside and beyond that they had not been broken by their Champions League exit, Raheem Sterling was quietly making a statement of his own; despite the ups and down of his season, no player has matched his 12 goals for the Blues in the Premier League.
It is typical for Sterling to go unnoticed - there are still some flat-earthers out there that put his ability to find space in the box down to luck rather than elite footballing intelligence - and there is irony in the fact that the player still judges his seasons on goals scored when there is so much more to his game than that. Considering the last campaign and the uncertainty that still hangs around his future with a contract expiring in 2023, it is no small feat that he has maintained his form and numbers.
If there was any confusion over why the 27-year-old would hold off signing a new contract at the Etihad in the New Year after a sensational turnaround in form led him to win the December Player of the Month award jut six weeks after telling reporters he could leave if he did not get more regular game time, there should not be by now. After getting just seven minutes in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, Sterling was thrown on in extra time of the second leg - asked to try to bail out a team that had been built for 90 minutes and had performed so well for the first 89 before spectacularly collapsing.
