Confusion reigned supreme on Twitter as several fans said that two of Dusan Tadic's assists came during friendlies and shouldn't be counted.
According to a tweet from Dutch football club Ajax, Serbia midfielder Dusan Tadic has broken Lionel Messi's record of providing the most number of assists in a calendar year.
