PSG breaks MU's record in Champions League, Luis Enrique makes a big statement

PSG broke MU's record in the Champions League, reaching a number of goals no team has ever achieved in this tournament after a magnificent 7-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

The Champions League group stage matches in the early morning of October 22 witnessed a rain of goals, in which the Leverkusen 2-7 PSG match had the biggest score.

A “ somewhat strange” match, as captain Luis Enrique shared after the match, when it was a 10-10 battle for most of the time, because referee Jesus Gil Manzano, who sent off Hansi Flick last weekend, pulled out 2 red cards - divided equally between each team in the first half.

On the day PSG won, they also welcomed more joy with the return of the Golden Ball, Ousmane Dembele, and he also contributed 1 goal (66').

Other names of the reigning Champions League champions who scored against home team Leverkusen include: Willian Pacho 7', Desire Doue 41', 45'+3', Khvicha Kvaratskhelia 44', Nuno Mendes 50', Vitor Ferreira 90'.

One notable thing is that with 7 goals against Leverkusen, PSG under Luis Enrique broke MU 's record of scoring in a calendar year in the Champions League, which was set in 2002.

Specifically, PSG became the first team in history to reach the milestone of 40 goals or more in 1 year. Exactly, the rich French team currently has 45 goals in the C1 Cup in 2025.

This number will not stop, when PSG has 3 more matches in this arena (against Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Athletic Bilbao) to close the calendar year. Previously, MU held the record with 38 goals scored in 2002.

Captain Luis Enrique shared after the match: “ A positive feeling, PSG played well, had very clear chances. We deserved the win.

Playing away from home is always complicated because there are things you can't control. But PSG did it today as usual. I'm proud of this team ."

With a perfect 9 points, PSG is currently leading the Champions League group stage. Luis Enrique has stated that the team's main goal is to fight to retain the trophy for the second consecutive season.
