In Numbers: Key statistics after Champions League semi-final exit

IGM

In the wake of Roma's 7-6 aggregate defeat against Liverpool on Wednesday night, we've rounded up some of the key statistics from the Champions League semi-final...

Magnificent eight

Edin Dzeko scored eight goals in this season’s Champions League – the joint-most ever by a player from an Italian club. The only other striker to match that tally was Inter Milan’s Samuel Eto’o, during the 2010-11 campaign.

Five in a row

Edin Dzeko extended his own club record when he scored on Wednesday night – making it five games in a row in which he has scored in the Champions League (all of them knockout ties).

Baker’s dozen

The tie was the highest-scoring semi-final clash in the history of the competition, with 13 goals scored in total.

Helping head

James Milner’s own goal was the first time Roma had been on the receiving end of an own goal in the Champions League since September 2014.

Off the mark

Radja Nainggolan scored his first ever goals in the Champions League on the night – opening his account with a 25-yard rocket in the 86th minute, before converting from the penalty spot just minutes later.

Resistance finally ends

Sadio Mane’s goal in the ninth minute was the first goal Roma conceded at the Stadio Olimpico in this season’s competition. The Giallorossi were the last side to concede a home goal.

Unlucky number seven

The 5-2 scoreline at Anfield in the first leg was the highest scoring semi-final game in competition history, level with Bayern Munich’s 5-2 defeat against Ajax in 1995.
