Max grabs record 12th assist Max's assist in Augsburg's lost to Bremen lifted him to 12- a single-season record for a defender... vor 2 Stunden

Augsburg left-back Philipp Max has become the first defender since detailed data collection began in 1993 to reach 12 assists in a single Bundesliga season.

The 24-year-old, who missed out on Joachim Löw’s most recent Germany squad for friendlies against Spain and Brazil, crossed for Rani Khedira to head home in Augsburg’s 3-1 loss to Werder Bremen on Saturday.

12 - Seit Beginn der detaillierten Datenerfassung 2004/05 verbuchte kein Verteidiger so viele Torvorlagen wie Philipp #Max (12) (@FCAugsburg) - damit löst er Philipp Lahm ab (11). Rekord. #FCASVW pic.twitter.com/aW3a9Vw849

The defeat leaves Augsburg ninth, six points off the European chase, but it’s bittersweet for Max, who now has three more assists to his name than Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, and four more than Kimmich’s Bavarian teammate Arjen Robben, who lines up in the final third.
