Three shots on goal in defeat
Buchanan registered three shots (three on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat versus Borussia Dortmund.
Analysis: Buchanan was Villarreal's biggest attacking threat on the night, putting three shots on target, including a powerful 41st minute strike that forced a brilliant save from Gregor Kobel and another dangerous effort in the 68th minute that the BVB goalkeeper denied to keep Villarreal from taking the lead. He also whipped in four crosses, three of which found their mark, and created three chances across 75 minutes before making way as Villarreal pushed for a winner. Buchanan was the most dangerous player on either side before Serhou Guirassy's decisive brace swung the match in BVB's favor.
Ready for new season
Buchanan is back with Villarreal and ready for the new season, according to the club.
Analysis: Buchanan finished last season with seven goals and one assist across 34 LaLiga games, including a hat trick against Girona that made him the first Canadian to score three goals in a single LaLiga match, having joined Villarreal from Inter Milan last summer. He struggled to have a major impact at the World Cup, managing just three shots on target and no goal contributions across Canada's journey, but his return to club training now shifts the focus toward building on last season's breakout campaign heading into the new LaLiga season under new coach Inigo Perez.
