The return matches of the Champions League semi-finals have started.
İdman.biz reports that IFFHS has prepared a statistical report on the match between PSG and Borussia Dortmund, which took place on the first match day of the stage.
At the age of 35 years and 143 days, Mats Hummels became the oldest German to score a goal in the Champions League playoffs.
Hummels is the third-youngest player to score in a Champions League semi-final. Ryan Giggs was 37 years and 148 days old and Edin Dzeko was 37 years and 54 days old when they scored.
Mats is the second “old man” to score a goal in the Champions League for Borussia. Lukasz Piszek achieved this at the age of 35 years and 188 days.
With an average squad age of 24 years and 157 days, PSG are the youngest to reach a Champions League semi-final in 15 years. In May 2009, Arsenal played Manchester United with a starting XI aged 24 years and 26 days.
PSG had 31 shots on goal during the match. For the third time in the 21st century, a team that took more than 30 shots in a Champions League match was left without a goal. In 2003, Milan scored 31 shots, and in 2012, Braga scored 35.
Since 2016, the Parisian club is the only team to hit the post or crossbar 4 times in a single Champions League game. They hit the post twice and the crossbar twice. Benfica faced this situation in a match against Besiktas in November 2016.
PSG are the only team to hit the crossbar four times in a playoff match.
In the semi-final matches with Borussia, the Parisians set a record for two-game matches, hitting the post and crossbar six times.
The French club also set a record by hitting the ball against the post or crossbar 14 times in a season.
Let us note that the German club, as in the first match, won with a score of 1:0.
