It already looks impressive, but the really big results are still to come. For example, PSV devoured Italian champions Napoli 6-2, but one poster was even more impressive in terms of goals. As icing on the already very nice cake, nine (!) goals were scored in the clash between Bayer Leverkusen and PSG. The Germans lost with a painful 2-7 on their own field.
An average of 4.8 goals were scored per match, just shy of another record. Exactly 9 years earlier – on October 21, 2014 – 40 shots were scored in eight matches: good for an average of 5 goals per match.
