UEFA Champions League: Top 5 highest scoring fixtures of all time

Red Star Belgrade v FC Red Bull Salzburg - UEFA Champions League
UEFA Champions League kicks off today with Barcelona and PSV going head to head

#2 Monaco 8-3 Deportivo la Coruña

AS Monaco v RB Leipzig - UEFA Champions League
Monaco ended up as a runner-up in the 2003-04 Champions League season

AS Monaco, the club which is known more for producing talents than for scoring goals, is only the fourth team in history to score 8 goals in any Champions League match. And until the 2016 season, their 8-3 victory over Deportivo La Coruña was the highest scoring fixture in the Champions League.

In the 2003-04 season, Monaco was doing surprisingly well. They managed to score 8 goals against a Deportivo side which had managed to defeat PSV in the previous fixture.

After this goal fest, Monaco topped their group and made it all the way to the Champions League finals, only the second French team ever to do so. Unfortunately, it hasn't been able to repeat this kind of performance again.
