The highest-scoring Champions League match of all time took place at the Signal Iduna Park between the home side Dortmund and Legia Warszawa. The game ended an astonishing 8-4 in favour of the home side and the record for the highest-scoring match in the tournament's history was broken.

Shinji Kagawa and Marco Reus scored a brace for the home side on the night, while Alexander Prejovic also scored two goals for Legia, as the three players stood out from the rest during this frantic Champions League evening.

The game took place during the group stage of the 2016-17 campaign, as Dortmund topped their group ahead of eventual tournament winners Real Madrid, while Warsaw finished third in the group and dropped down to the Europa Le.

Thomas Tuchel oversaw Dortmund's resounding victory and the club reached the quarter-finals, before losing out to Monaco over the course of two legs. Reus' deflected effort in the final minutes of the game sealed the record on a night to remember and assured the teams a place in the record books for the highest-scoring game in UEFA Champions League history.
