Last week’s first leg thrilled the entire football world. The two teams scored nine goals to set a new goal record in a Champions League semi-final game (since 1992/93). In the European Champion Clubs’ Cup, the predecessor of the competition, Eintracht Frankfurt and Glasgow Rangers netted nine times in a semi-final game in 1959/60.

Historically strong attacks go head-to-head

It wasn’t only in the first leg that PSG and Bayern were hungry for goals – they’ve netted numerous times throughout the season. For the first time, two clubs boasting more than 40 goals each in a single Champions League campaign face off, with PSG at 43 and FCB at 42 goals. However, Bayern needed two fewer games for that after Paris contested the play-offs. Bayern boast 3.23 goals scored per game, the highest average in the competition, with PSG in second place on 2.87. Both teams have their sights set on the record for goals: FC Barcelona scored 45 goals in 1999/2000.
