163 – Manuel Neuer kommt zu seinem 163. Champions-League-Einsatz und zieht damit mit Lionel Messi und Thomas Müller als Spieler mit den drittmeisten CL-Einsätzen gleich (C. Ronaldo 183, Casillas 177). Er ist somit auch der Deutsche mit den geteilt meisten CL-Einsätzen (mit Müller). Legende. @FCBayern

If Aston Villa beat Viking tonight, they'll be the second fastest team to reach 20 European Cup/UEFA Champions League victories (in their 30th game), only behind Real Madrid (won 20 of first 29). After a summer of upheaval, Unai Emery has got his Villa team clicking once again. In this form, they'll be confident of securing another win. @DavidSegar_ looks at how Emery's turned their poor early-season form around ahead of tonight's clash. 🔗 theanalyst.com/articles/asto…

6 - Erling Haaland has scored in each of his last six Premier League matches (8 goals) and could net in seven consecutive matches in the competition for the second time, also doing so between August and October 2022. Lethal.
