Karim Benzema has played 66 knockout matches in the UEFA Champions League, a tally that puts him in third place alongside Thomas Müller, behind only Lionel Messi (77) and Cristiano Ronaldo (85).

Benzema has scored in each of his last 11 UEFA Champions League goals against English clubs, breaking the record for the longest scoring streak against teams from the same country.

Chelsea has failed to score in its last four competitive matches, a worrying trend that dates back to December 1993. This is one of the club’s worst scoring droughts in recent history.

Chelsea has lost 39% of its games in official competition this season (16 out of 41), the club’s highest loss ratio since the 1987/88 season.

Vinicius Junior touched the ball 19 times in the opposition’s penalty area during the Real Madrid vs. Chelsea match, the highest total for any player in the Champions League this season. By comparison, Chelsea’s entire team only had 10 touches in Madrid’s penalty area.

Marco Asensio has scored nine goals as a substitute in the Champions League, two more than any other player in the competition’s history.

João Félix has not scored, assisted, or won any of his seven career matches against Real Madrid, including four defeats and three draws.

Karim Benzema has scored 20 goals against English teams in the Champions League, second only to Lionel Messi’s 27 goals.

Carlo Ancelotti has won 35 matches in the Champions League as manager of Real Madrid, the most by any coach in the club’s history.

These statistics provide a glimpse into the current state of football in Europe’s premier club competition. As the knockout stage progresses, it will be interesting to see if these trends continue or if new records are set.[/expander_maker]
