50 – Tonight’s game was Zinedine Zidane’s 50th game as manager of Real Madrid. Not a bad start to his managerial career, eh?

7 - James Rodríguez has made more assists than any other Real Madrid player this season (all competitions). That’s a surprising one, isn’t it!

8 - Dani Carvajal has delivered eight assists in 2016, more than any other La Liga defender (all competitions). 5 of them came this season. He wasn’t very defending today, but he was excellent going forward

50 – Karim Benzema has scored his 50th CL goal. He’s the 6th player to reach this milestone and the 2nd Frenchman after a certain Monsieur Thierry Henry

29 - Lucas Vázquez is the Real Madrid player with the most appearances in their current unbeaten streak

21 – Real Madrid’s unbeaten run whenever Vazquez starts extends to 21! What a lucky charm the man is, eh?

1 - Leicester City are the first team since Malaga in 2012/13 to finish top of their group on their Champions League debut.

5 - Leicester City’s 0-5 defeat is the biggest margin of defeat by an English side in Champions League/European Cup history.

1 - This is the first UCL match that Gianluigi Buffon has not started for Juventus since 10th December 2008. THAT IS A GOOD EIGHT YEARS! That man is a Legend!

104 – Harry Winks completed 104 passes vs. CSKA; more than any other player in the Champions League tonight. He also had a 96% pass accuracy!.

11 – Danny Drinkwater completed just 11 passes in the first half vs. Porto. What a contrast!
