1 - Bayerns Harry Kane wurde im gestrigen Spiel gegen Arsenal der erste Spieler, der in einem Spiel in der Champions League ein Tor schoss, ein Tor vorbereitete und einen Abstoß ausführte (seit Beginn det. Datenerfassung 2003/04). Überall. @FCBayern

1 - Harry Kane's goal kick last night was the first he'd taken in any competition for club or country since October 2014, when he went in goal for Tottenham against Asteras Tripolis in the UEFA Europa League after Hugo Lloris was sent off. Versatility.
Is there anything Harry Kane can't do? 🧐 His goal kick very nearly led to a Bayern Munich goal 😲

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.
Good news, managers 🚨 Erling Haaland will be fit to start in Gameweek 8, according to Enzo Maresca 💪
