A record 40 goals were scored in the Champions League on Tuesday—the most in any single day of competition in European club football’s most prestigious competition—and 21 of them came in three incredible matches.
In the Italian capital, visiting Bayern Munich thumped AS Roma 7-1, while in London, hosts Chelsea shellacked Maribor 6-0. Shakhtar Donetsk also ran up the score in Belarus, where they hammered BATE Borisov 7-0.
CSKA Moscow came back from two goals down to draw Manchester City 2-2, and until Edinson Cavani’s late winner in Cyprus it looked as though Paris Saint-Germain were headed to a share of the points against APOEL.
Elsewhere, Barcelona beat Ajax 3-1 at Camp Nou, Porto were 2-1 winners at home to Athletic Bilbao and Schalke scored a controversial winner to prevail 4-3 over Sporting CP in Gelsenkirchen.
Following are some of the winners and losers from an unbelievable day of Champions League action.
