Previously, the record was set by the first round of the 2000/01 Champions League, in which 63 goals were scored over 16 matches.
Past fifth round Champions League 2024/25 became the most productive in the history of the tournament.
Over 18 matches played, 67 goals were scored. Previously, the record was set by the first round of the 2000/01 Champions League, in which 63 goals were scored over 16 matches.
Of the 18 matches in the fifth round of this season’s competition, nine games featured five or more goals, four of which featured six goals, with Atalanta’s 6-1 win over Young Boys topping the scoring charts with seven goals. There was only one goalless draw (in the game between Aston Villa and Juventus), and only one goal was scored in three other matches.
The match between the champion of Ukraine and Shakhtar, which lost to PSV yesterday in Eindhoven (2:3), was also productive. At the same time, until the 87th minute, Marino Pusic’s team was leading 2:0, playing in the minority from the middle of the second half after defender Pedro Enrique was sent off.
Liverpool continues to be the sole leader in the overall standings of the 2024/25 Champions League, which has so far been exceptionally winning (15 points to its name). Inter, which is in second place, has 13 points, while Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have 12 points each, they share 3rd-4th place.
The next sixth round of the Champions League will take place on December 10-11. The miner is awaiting a nominally “home” match in Gelsenkirchen against Bayern.
