According to statistics from Canal Plus , in just 9 matches, 43 goals were scored, reaching an average of 4.8 goals per match - the highest number in the history of this prestigious tournament.

The previous record was set in November 2024, when there were 40 goals in 9 games, equivalent to 4.4 goals per game. Thus, this week's Champions League series has officially broken the milestone that was considered "crazy" last season.

In comparison, the final round of the 2024/25 group stage (29/1/2025) saw 64 goals in 18 games, an average of 3.6 goals/game. Furthermore, 1/1/1997 saw 44 goals in 12 games (3.7 goals/game) - a record that stood for nearly three decades before being broken this season.

The common point of this morning's series of matches is the explosion of the attacking lines. The matches took place at a high speed, continuously witnessing breathtaking score chases.

There were four matches with at least six goals on the last day of competition, including Barcelona's 6-1 win over Olympiakos, Leverkusen's 2-7 loss to PSG, Copenhagen's 2-4 defeat to Dortmund and PSV's 6-2 thrashing of Napoli.

Experts say this is one of the most memorable Champions League nights in years, when attacking football is glorified.

Mourinho was disappointed with the 90+1 minute masterpiece. In the early morning of September 24, Jose Mourinho's Benfica could only draw 1-1 with Rio Ave at home stadium Da Luz in round 6 of the Portuguese National Championship.
