The Parisians lead the way in the group stage for goals, having scored a whopping 25 goals in their 6 group fixtures. Real Madrid also scored an impressive 17 times in group H- the 3rd highest in the group stage behind Liverpool (23).

​Madrid, who became the first side to ever successfully win the Champions League in back-to-back seasons when beating Juventus 4-1 in Cardiff last season, haven’t had it all their own way this time round.

​Indeed, Zidane’s side were pipped to the top spot in their group by Tottenham, having been held by Pochettino’s side at home before being outclassed at Wembley in the reverse fixture.
​In Group B, PSG had already secured their passage as comfortable group winners having conceded just 1 goal before they tasted 3-1 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich.
​
​In terms of goalscorers, Cristiano Ronaldo carried all before him for the Galacticos during the group stage, scoring 9 times in the 6 group matches. This total means that he’s scored more than 4x as many next highest scorer, Karim Benzema!

​Neymar, the man tasked with bringing a first Champions League title to Paris, has 6 goals in the competition so far equally as many as his strike partner Edinson Cavani.
