Chuki leads Werder Bremen while Füllkrug breaks records

Chuki, former Valladolid player, celebrated a goal and cements himself as a key piece of Werder Bremen, which is already among the Champions League places.

During a stretch of Saturday afternoon, Werder Bremen occupied Champions League spots alongside Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.

Goal scorer and assist provider

Niclas Füllkrug is the league's top scorer, with nine goals.

Marco Grüll tops the assists list with seven goal passes.

The 22-year-old Spanish attacking midfielder has become a regular fixture in Daniel Thioune's eleven.

The coach has given him the number ten role, the space from which he can dictate the game.

Chuki arrived on a free transfer from Valladolid.

In September he was nominated for best rookie of the month.

Bremen's star is Füllkrug: he outshines the latest Ballon d'Or winner and only Raphinha is better during that stretch.

Diego did not score any goal in the Bundesliga.

Grüll operates from the left side, while Arthur has taken over the entire right flank; in defence, Amos Pieper provides command and stability.

Werder was one of the great powers of German football, Bundesliga champion, but ended up relegated to the 2. Bundesliga in 2021.
