After a goal-shy Serie A weekend with just 11 goals scored, the Champions League erupted last night with a record-breaking flurry of strikes.

A new record for goals scored in a single Champions League night was set yesterday when clubs involved in Europe’s elite competition combined 43 goals, with an average of 4,77 per game.

The previous record was from November 26, 2024, with 40 goals scored on a single Champions League night.

Inter and Napoli were naturally involved as the Nerazzurri beat Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 away, while the Partenopei suffered a heavy 6-2 loss against PSV.

Tonight, Juventus will visit Real Madrid while Atalanta will host Slavia Prague.

As highlighted by Gazzetta, the exciting goal galore in Europe followed a dry Serie A weekend in which only 11 goals were scored in 10 games, setting a new low in Italy’s top flight.

Over the past weekend, four Serie A matches ended with goalless draws, while the only 0-0 stalemate in nine Champions League matches last night came in Kairat-Pafos.

The current record of goals in a single Champions League Round (across two nights) is 67.
