In the meantime, Calhanoglu continued his perfect record of the place. He has scored all six of his Champions League fines, the joint 100% success rate in the history of the competition (where Timo Werner also scored all six of his spot kicks).
With what he thought the winner was certain, Raphinha was the same as the record of Cristiano Ronaldo 2013-14 of 21 targets in one Champions League campaign (13 goals, eight assists).
Only Barcelona itself (45 in 1999-00) scored more goals this season in a Champions League season than Barcelona (43), but the side of Hansi Flick also admitted 24 goals, their most in one campaign, which ultimately proved their downfall.
