2026-27 Champions League Statistics: League Stage, Round 3 (October 20)
*187 goals scored in 45 games in the Champions League this season at the moment: the highest goals-per-game ratio in a UCL/European Cup campaign since 1959-60 (also 4.2).
PSG 4-2 Barcelona
*PSG are now unbeaten in each of their last 13 Champions League games (9 wins, 4 draws), equaling their club record set across 2012-13 and 2013-14.
*PSG have scored 14 goals in the 2026-27 Champions League—the joint-highest total for any team after 3 matches of a single season, alongside Arsenal in 2010-11.
*PSG have netted at least 4 goals in each of their last 3 Champions League home matches—a feat not seen since Barcelona managed it between September 2016 and March 2017 (4 games).
*This is the first defeat of the season for Barcelona, who had won their first 11 official matches of the campaign.
There is now only one unbeaten team left across the top five European leagues, considering all competitions: Bayern Munich (7 wins and 3 draws).
*Luis Enrique has now secured his 3rd consecutive victory against Barcelona in the Champions League (4-1 in 2024, 2–1 in 2025, and 4–2 now).
Only one other coach in the history of the competition has achieved this: Julian Nagelsmann, who won all four matches between Bayern and Barça in 2021 and 2022 (with an aggregate score of 11–0).
*Barcelona are the first team in Champions League history to start four teenagers in a game against the reigning champions.
*Lamine Yamal has played the 200th match of his professional career (163 for Barcelona, 37 for Spain).
*Yamal has reached 10 goals and 10 assists across all competitions this season. He has become the first player from Europe’s top five leagues to reach double figures in both categories this season.
*Yamal scored his 13th Champions League goal, equaling the record for a player under the age of 20 in the competition, held by Kylian Mbappé.
*Yamal had won his last 22 matches for club and country. That streak has now come to an end.
Rodri suffered his first defeat for club or country since March 17, 2024—when Manchester City lost to Real Madrid—bringing an end to a 31-match unbeaten run.
*Barcelona’s Xavi Espart is the youngest Spanish defender (19 years and 152 days old) to score in the history of the Champions League.
The only other player under the age of 20 to have achieved this was Sergio Ramos—at 19 years and 251 days—during a Real Madrid vs Olympiacos match on December 6, 2005.
Liverpool 4-3 Villarreal
*Barcelona and Villarreal have both conceded 4 goals. Only once before had two Spanish teams conceded 4 or more goals on the same Champions League match-day: on April 16, 2024, with Atlético in Dortmund (2-4) and Barça against PSG (1-4).
*All eight of Alexis Mac Allister’s (Liverpool) Champions League goals have been scored at Anfield.
It’s the most goals scored by a player in Champions League history with all of them coming at the same stadium.
*Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha is the third-youngest player (18 years 52 days) to provide multiple assists in a Champions League game behind Warren Zaïre-Emery (17 years 231 days) and Theo Walcott (17 years 250 days).
Manchester City 5-1 AEK Athens
*Phil Foden scored the 2nd hat-trick by an English player for Manchester City in the Champions League, seven years after Raheem Sterling’s hat-trick against Atalanta (22 October 2019).
Napoli 4-3 Bodø/Glimt
*Matteo Politano’s goal at 53 seconds is the fastest in Napoli’s Champions League history.
The previous record was held by Piotr Zieliński, who scored against Feyenoord at 1 minute 33 seconds on December 6, 2017.
Stuttgart 1-1 Atlético Madrid
*Julián Alvarez has scored again in an official match for Atlético de Madrid after 174 days—he hadn’t found the net since April 29, 2026 (against Arsenal, in the Champions League).
This marks his longest wait (in terms of time) during his spell with the “Rojiblancos”—though he once had a longer drought in terms of matches played (11).
Porto 0-1 PSV Eindhoven
*PSV won away in the Champions League without conceding for the first time since November 2007 (against CSKA Moscow).
Roma 4-0 Slovan Bratislava
*For the first time in their history, Roma have had two different defenders score in a European Cup/Champions League match: Mario Hermoso and Nahuel Molina.
Fenerbahçe 2-2 Slavia Prague
*Having conceded nine goals in the Champions League this season, Fenerbahçe matched their negative record for the most goals allowed in the first three group-stage matches in the club’s European competition history (a mark previously set during the 2004-05 Champions League).
Sabah 1-2 Borussia Dortmund
*Since the start of the 2024-25 season, Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy has recorded seven multi-goal hauls in the Champions League—a figure that, for this period, ties him for the highest tally alongside Bayern’s Harry Kane.
*Sabah are the first team in Champions League history to name starting XI with players of 11 different nationalities in three games in a row.
