UEFA Champions League
6 - The 6-0 beating Atletico Madrid put on Sparta Prague was the Czech side's heaviest-ever European defeat, and just the second time they had conceded six times in a European clash. They also did so in the Europa League last 16 earlier this calendar year to Liverpool - the only difference then was that they actually scored in that contest.
7 - For the seventh game in a row, Bayern Munich have scored against Paris Saint-Germain, as Kim Min-jae's first-half goal was enough for the Bavarians to prevail 1-0 at home to their French rivals. Curiously, there has never been a draw between the two, as Bayern now lead the head-to-head 8-6.
4 - Liverpool beat Real Madrid for just the fourth time in the teams' head-to-head, and for the first time since 2009. The 2-0 home victory leaves the Reds a perfect five-for-five, one of three clubs across the three UEFA club competitions to remain perfect in the league phase. Their place in the knockout stages are already a fact, with three games to spare.
14 - It took Feyenoord 14 second-half minutes to come from three goals down to stun Manchester City and earn a point at the Etihad. The Rotterdam-based side are now four games undefeated away from home in Europe, their longest run since 2021/22, when they reached the Conference League final.
36 - The last time Crvena zvezda scored five goals in a European Cup/Champions League game came in 1988 against Dundalk. Flash forward 36 years, and the Serbian champions have done it again, getting past Stuttgart 5-1 at home. That was Red Star's third win in the UCL proper, in what is their fourth appearance.
8 - The number of minutes it took for PSV Eindvhoven to overcome their 2-0 deficit against Shakhtar Donetsk, as the Pitmen collapsed in the final moments of the match to lose for the fourth time in the competition this term. With PSV now on eight points, their chances of progression have gone up considerably.

5 - At the fifth attempt, Porto has finally avoided defeat in Brussels, coming away with a 2-2 draw at Anderlecht. This is despite the Portuguese giants leading twice. In the eight matches between the two before Thursday's match, only once had the visiting team earned a result, which was also a draw.
3 - Fenerbahce left it late, but they grabbed a vital 2-1 victory away to Slavia Praha, giving Jose Mourinho's men a great chance of moving past this stage. They are now three games without a loss against a team from Czechia (2-1-0). Nearly after the Czechs defeated Fener home and away in the UEFA Conference League knockout round playoffs, they failed to hold onto their lead on Thursday.
10 - AZ's unbeaten run at home in the Europa League proper has now hit double digits after their 1-1 stalemate with Galatasaray. Including qualifiers, the streak is at 14, with the last team to come out on top at the AFAS Stadion being Olympique Lyon in the 2016/17 tournament at the first knockout round.
2 - For just the second time in their short European history, Bodo/Glimt scored multiple goals in an away fixture, and still lost. Manchester United prevailed 2-1 at the expense of the Norwegians, giving Ruben Amorim a win in his first continental game as the Red Devils' boss. Funny enough, the only other occasion Bodo lost despite scoring multiple away goals, saw the match end in the same scoreline, in the third qualifying round of the 2020/21 Europa League versus AC Milan.
16 - It has been a disappointing return to Europa League football for OGC Nice, who fell 4-1 to Rangers. The one piece of solace that Les Aiglons can take from the game, is that it was their 16th home match in a row in UEFA club competition play in which they have scored. Napoli were the last team to keep them out at the Allianz Riviera, in the Champions League playoff round seven years ago.
9 - Qarabag suffered a heavy 4-1 beating by Olympique Lyon in their game, giving the Azeri champions much work to do going into the final three rounds. The four goals conceded brings them up to nine in the UEL league phase this fall, the joint-most of the 36 teams. Dynamo Kyiv are level with them in that regard, although the Ukrainians play their home games in Germany.

15 - APOEL continued their impressive record against Norwegian opposition in Europe with a 1-0 victory at Molde on Thursday. The defending Cypriot champions improved their record to 6-0-1 in such matches, scoring in each of the games. The goal in Molde was their 15th versus sides from the Nordic country. That result puts them on the cusp of knockout round football for the first time since 2019/20.
1 - With their 0-0 draw in Armenia, Vikingur Reykjavik became the first team to earn a result against FC Noah away. Before this, the Armenian Premier League runner-ups from last term had won all six of their home fixtures in Europe. They have also been kept off the scoresheet for the third continental game in a row - before this run, they never went consecutive European games without scoring.
12 - Thursday had marked great news for Shamrock Rovers, who earned a 2-2 draw against fellow high-flyers Rapid Wien. The Irish side have avoided defeat in consecutive European away games within the same season for the first time. However, they are still 12 without a win on the road in continental play since topping North Macedonian side Shkupi in the UCL third qualifying round back in 2022.
0 - Following their 3-0 defeat of Omonoia Nicosia, Legia Warszawa are on their way to the knockout phases, with a perfect four wins from four. Even better news for the Poles? They are the only team in the Conference League to have kept four clean sheets, and one of two teams across the league phases to have such a record (Inter are the other, from five games in the UCL, Atalanta also kept four clean sheets in a row).
16 - HJK continue to show their struggles on the road in Europe, as their 1-0 reverse to Panathinaikos was their 16th away match without a win. The Finnish team - who recently lost out on the league title after winning the last four titles, will need to work some magic in their final two games if they are to progress.
18 - Chelsea are set to break the Conference League record for the most goals at this stage of the competition. Their 2-0 success at FC Heidenheim took them to 18 goals in the league phase. That is the joint-most goals ever scored in a UECL group phase, only matched by AS Roma in the inaugural 2021/22 campaign. The only difference is, the Blues have done that in four matches. One more goal will break the record.
