Real Madrid was the last team in Champions League history to manage six goals away from home in the first leg of a Champions League knockout fixture. In 2013–14, Los Blancos defeated Schalke 04 6–1 on the back of braces from Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.

Arsenal had failed to get a goal in two games prior to Tuesday’s Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven. Then, much like London buses, seven came at once in a record-breaking performance.

A superb goal from Brahim Diaz helped Real Madrid maintain its dominance of the Madrid derby on Europe's biggest stage with a 2-1 victory over bitter rival Atletico in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Tuesday.
