Not seen since Barcelona’s 8-2 humiliation: Paris renews Spain’s Champions League nightmare

Paris Saint-Germain are the first French club to win away by six goals in the Champions League since Olympique Lyonnais thrashed Dinamo Zagreb 7-1 on 7 December 2011, according to Stats du Foot. 

They also became only the second club in history to win by six goals against a Spanish side in the competition, after Bayern Munich put eight past Barcelona in their 8-2 win on 14 August 2020.

Another record fell too. Paris are the first club in Champions League history to score six goals away from home against a Spanish side, beating the five Monaco managed at La Coruña on 8 December 2004. 

The French champions are now unbeaten in their last 14 Champions League matches, with 10 wins and four draws. That equals the best unbeaten run in the competition’s history, set by Lyon between December 2004 and March 2006. 

Paris have also hit 20 goals after four rounds this season, a record at this stage. They have surpassed the 17 they scored in the group stage of the 2017-2018 campaign.
