Accurate passing - a particularly important element of football. Weak ball control technique and passes to the gods into the boxes are constant pains of Lithuanian football.
Both A League and players from around the world could aspire to the Champions League gems, who almost flawlessly perform both short and long passes.
In the top ten of last season, the first place was taken by London's "Arsenal" defender Nacho Monreal. The 29-year-old Spaniard made 225 accurate passes, achieving the goal in almost 97 percent of attempts.
Madrid's "Real" representatives Asier Illarramendi and Toni Kroos shared 2-3 places. The German's achievement is even more impressive, as he accurately passed the ball 852 times - the most in the entire top ten.
