These line ups promise a lots of goals tonight.
So, before the match starts here is some CL trivia about goals:
1. At only 24 Leo Messi is the all time CL topscorer in the knock-out rounds. He scored 19 goals in the CL knock-outs, which is one more than the 2nd placed Raul and two more than the 3rd placed Shevchenko.
2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is surprisingly 14th best topscorer in CL history and only 5 goals away from breaking into the top 10. Still, Zlatan is one of the worst "topscorers" when we talk about the CL knockouts. Only 4 of his 28 goals came in the knock outs.
3. There are some players who did even worse than Zlatan in this regard. Ruud Van Nistelrooy is the 2nd all time topscorer in CL with 56 goals. Only 6 of those though were scored in the eliminating rounds. Rivaldo scored 27 goals in CL but only 2 of those came when it mattered, in the knockout rounds. The other 25 were scored in the CL group stages. Roy Makaay manages to surpass even Rivaldo and Van Nistelrooy. He scored 29 goals in CL but whooping 27 of those were in the group stages.
4. Opposite of Zlatan, RVN, Rivaldo and Makaay, some players are quiet in the group stages but explode in the knockouts. Wayne Rooney scored 14 of his 26 CL goals exactly in the knockouts. But even Rooney can't compare with Frank Lampard who scored 18 goals in CL, 13 of them scored in the knockouts.
5. Only 4 of CLs top 20 goalscorers managed to score all the goals for the same team. Messi for Barca, our own Del Piero for Juve and Manchester United's Rooney and Giggs.
