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.

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.

Manchester United are finding their rhythm.
Their 700 completed passes, including 211 in the final third, were both the highest totals they have ever recorded in a WSL match.

Since Mikel Arteta took charge in December 2019, no Premier League side has scored more winning goals through substitutes than Arsenal. 🤯
Luck, squad depth or brilliant in-game management?

Across the opening two matchdays of 2026-27 there have been 147 goals scored in 36 matches.
That average of 4.08 goals per game is the highest in a single season of UEFA Champions League action, with only 1959-60 (4.19) and 1955-56 (4.38) higher when including the old European Cup campaigns.

A trio to fear.
London City Lionesses's Van de Donk, Putellas and Diani have combined for 14 non-penalty goal involvements in just five WSL matches this season.
Could they challenge one of the most prolific attacking trios in league history?
OptaJoe retweeted
• Man Utd have led for just 18% of match time this season
• No team have conceded more than their 4 goals after the 80th minute
• They've not won any of last 3 Premier League games in which opposition had a red card
OptaJoe retweeted
Teams are generating higher-quality chances than ever before. 📈
This WSL season has the highest average xG per non-penalty shot (0.117) on record, suggesting attacks are working the ball into more dangerous shooting positions and creating clearer opportunities than in previous campaigns.

71.9% - @ManUtdWomen's Phallon Tullis-Joyce has a save percentage of 71.9% in the @BarclaysWSL this season, the best of any goalkeeper to have faced more than 15 shots on target.
Wall.
Unstoppable reflexes 🙌
Congratulations to Manchester United’s Phallon Tullis-Joyce who is September’s @BritishGas Save of the Month winner! 🧤🙌
