Tuesday’s Champions League action saw the usual aspects score multiple goals and lead their teams to comfortable victories.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on his 400th Real Madrid appearance as the title holders defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-1, while Harry Kane grabbed a hat-trick in Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-0 win at APOEL Nicosia and Wissam Ben Yedder became the first Sevilla player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League.
Kevin De Bruyne curled in a sublime 25-yard strike as Manchester City overcame spirited resistance from Shakhtar Donestk, with Raheem Sterling completing a 2-0 victory, while Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw away to Spartak Moscow despite a sparkling strike from Philippe Coutinho.
Here are all the big, crazy and mind-blowing numbers from day one of week two of Champions League 2017-’18.
Harry ‘Hat-trick’ Kane
England striker Kane notched his sixth hat-trick of the year – and made it 11 goals for club and country in September – as Spurs backed up their opening victory over Dortmund with a comfortable win in Cyprus.
Ronaldo rolls on
Ronaldo, without a goal in his last two outings following his return from a five-match domestic ban, took his Real haul to 411 on what was also his 150th career appearance in Europe.
