1 Records With Walter Samuel grounded and goalkeeper Julio Cesar a bemused onlooker, Gareth Bale scores the first Tottenham Hotspur FC goal against FC Internazionale Milano at San Siro. The UEFA Champions League newcomers came back from 4-0 down at half-time to lose 4-3; Bale performed the rare feat of hitting a hat-trick for a side playing with 10 men; and it allowed English clubs to take over from Italy at the top of the hat-trick chart.

14 UEFA Champions League Records THE LANDMARK GOALS UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE The format of the UEFA Champions League has fluctuated between the 25-game campaign in its inaugural year to the 157 fixtures when two group stages were played and, in recent years, the 125-match season from group stage to final. The scoring rate increased during the 2010/11 campaign but it has basically stabilised at a level which permits a thousand goals to be added to the total in just over three years. After Daniel Amokachi s historic opener in 1992, it wasn t until the competition s seventh season that the 1,000-goal landmark was reached, The 2010/11 campaign kicked-off just a few strikes short of the 5,000 mark, with, including Amokachi, 50 names on the list of players who had laid milestones. Curiously, on the opening day of the season, the two games in Group B proved to be a battleground to decide who would go into the history books as the scorer of the 5,000th goal, with two Brazilians, Michel Bastos and Anderson Luís da Silva Luisão opening the score for Olympique Lyonnais and SL Benfica respectively in the 21st minute of their matches. It took something approaching rocket science to separate the contenders, with Bastos hitting goal number 4,999 and Luisão the 5,000th just 0.14 seconds later. The 2010/11 milestone-layers perpetuated a recent trend. Whereas the early part of the list reads like a who s who of specialised strikers, goal - scoring patterns have varied, allowing defenders like Luisão, Younes Kaboul or Marcelo to share the limelight with the front men.

22 UEFA Champions League Records GOALLESS DRAWS If it seems strange that it took until late April for the inaugural UEFA Champions League to produce a goal-less draw, it has to be recalled that the group stage was preceded by two knock-out rounds and the competition proper spanned the winter break. In those early days, when critics were wondering whether the competition would be a success or not, it was even a cause for concern when, as soon as the field had been expanded to sixteen clubs, three of the eight games on the opening matchday of the 1994/95 season ended goal-less. Although this record was equalled in the following season, it is one that, during the long history of the competition, has never been beaten albeit helped by the fact that, in recent times, fixtures have been spread over two days. The clubs most involved in goal-less draws tend to be those who have played the most matches. But the bottom end of that particular chart reveals some interesting statistical comments on playing styles and philosophies. Is it by accident, for example, that Rosenborg BK, despite participating eleven times in the UEFA Champions League, have only once sent spectators home without seeing a goal? Or that Olympique Lyonnais have done so only twice?
