Recorded Numbers
We’ve already at the midway point of the group stages and our tipster review the top 10 numbers in this year’s Champions League – Some will definitely surprise you!
5 - It’s the number of goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo in three games. The Portuguese heads the Top scorer table this season, making history in this competition by topping the goal scorer chart with 83 goals. Incredible!
9 - As the number of goals scored by Bayer Leverkusen, making them the best attacking team in the group stages. Chicharito, Mehmedi and Calhanoglu have led their German club to position itself in second place in Group E. Deutsch quality!
2 - The quickest goal scored in the Champions league came from Nicolas Gaitan against Galatasaray in under 2 mins. The Portuguese player made history for the Benfica’s side but that’s as far as it goes where they were finally beaten in this game 2-1.
9 - Unfortunately for PSG, it is not about goals from super star Zlatan since the Swedish player has still not turned on his counter. PSG have the greatest number of off-target goal attempts – is the Swedish player troubled?
20 - This is the percentage of goals scored in the last fifteen minutes this season in the Champions League.
3 - The number that’s chasing Russia’s Oleg Shatov. Author of three assists in three games for a record of three wins, he is one of the main reasons Zenit’s European campaign is off to a flying start. A sign of destiny for the Russian club, who could possibly see out bottom placed Lyon next week and book their place for the last 16.
3 -Equally as many yellow cards given to one player. And this distinction amounts to ... Olivier Giroud! Is the French Player Nervous?
119,252 - The number of people who have gathered at Emirates Stadium, in just two games. If Arsenal has the best crowds on home soil, then it’s Chelsea who has the best away. Unity is strength!
0 - Goals conceded by Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain so far this season, making them the best defenses in the first half on the group stages. Who will crack first at the Bernabeu this Tuesday?
11.5 - Lyon have 11.5% chance for qualification. With only one point in 3 matches and they can wave goodbye to their European campaign if they fail to beat Zenit and Valencia.
