Paco Alcacer's story tells you how exceptionally beautiful redemption can be. Almost a year ago the Spaniard was infesting the benches at Barcelona, but now with Borussia Dortmund, everything he touches seems to turn to gold.

Alcacer is already in the running for the Bundesliga Golden Boot with 12 goals from 14 league games. His electrifying form is one of the main reasons why Dortmund are now steadily marching towards the Bundesliga title with a seven-point lead at the top.

Alcacer has notched an xG value of 5.5 but exceeds it with a massive margin of 6.5 points. The 25-year-old should have scored only six instead of the 12 goals in his bracket at the moment.

Alcacer's top form will prove to be the most crucial factor should Borussia Dortmund successfully lift the Bundesliga title this season.
