The third round of the Champions League qualifying round brought a feast for the eyes, with an unprecedented rain of goals in the history of the tournament.

Statistics show that 71 goals were scored in the two matches on 22 and 23 October in the Champions League - a record for the tournament. On 22 October alone, after 9 matches, European teams scored 43 goals, equivalent to an average of 4.8 goals per match - the highest number ever recorded in a round of Champions League.

Previously, the old record belonged to the series of matches in November 2024, when there were 40 goals in the same number of matches (an average of 4.4 goals/match). However, that "crazy" number has now been broken, showing the fierce attack and high dedication of the teams in this year's season.

By the early morning of October 23, there had been 28 more goals scored in eight games. Notably, two games ended with the same scoreline of 5-1, with Frankfurt losing to Liverpool and Ajax losing to Chelsea.

In addition, there were also two matches that ended in a 0-0 draw, between Monaco – Tottenham and Atalanta – Slavia Praha.

The explosion of goals has excited fans and shows that attacking football is being celebrated in the Champions League. Instead of choosing a tight defensive style, many big teams are willing to take risks and push their squad up in search of the best results.

Experts say that if this scoring pace continues, the 2025/26 season could become the Champions League season with the most goals in history, affirming its position as the most attractive tournament on the planet.
