There are still three games to go in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League, but this is already confirmed as the competition's highest-scoring edition of all time in terms of goals per game.
Roberto Firmino's first of the evening in the semi-final first leg – Liverpool's fourth against Roma – took the tally to 381 for this season, one more than the previous record set in 2016/17. After Liverpool's 5-2 win against Roma and Real Madrid's 2-1 success at Bayern München a it stood at 387 goals in 122 matches, around 3.17 per game, i.e. every 28 minutes. Last season ended with an average of 3.04 per game (30 minutes per goal) and even if there are no more goals this season, the average will come out as 3.10 (every 29 minutes).
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 15 of this season's goals and is on target to break his own record of 17 in a single campaign, set in 2013/14.
While this has been the most goal-heavy edition of the UEFA Champions League to date, it has not been the highest-scoring edition ever. A mighty 449 goals were netted in 2000/01, albeit at a slower rate (2.86 per game) because 157 matches were played in that season's tournament which had two group stages.
