137 goals have already been scored in this season's UEFA Champions League group stage. The players who have scored nine precise shots, the Leverkusen "Bayer" footballers, are the most efficient team in the tournament after the first round. Among the players, Cristiano Ronaldo, the owner of the Golden Ball, stands out having scored five goals. Meanwhile, the joy of pulling the ball out of their own net has not been experienced by Donetsk's "Shakhtar" and Tel-Aviv's "Maccabi" teams. These are the numbers of the 60th anniversary of the strongest tournament on the Old Continent. This season, like any other, promises a lot of intrigue for football fans, and several teams are aiming to win the Champions League trophy. Let's look at the numbers and consider which clubs have the best chances to advance to the knockout stages.
E group - "Barcelona" (7 pts.), Leverkusen "Bayer" (4 pts.), Borisov BATE (3 pts.), "Roma" (2 pts.)
In this group, where the defending champions Barcelona are playing, 25 goals have been scored in the first six matches. For comparison, Group F, which is second in terms of goals, scored 19. The "Bayer" team, which has scored the most times, scored four times in two matches, with their recent match against "Roma" ending in a 4-4 draw. The numbers show that football in Group E is particularly attractive to fans, considering the fact that last year's tournament winner "Barca" is one of the most popular due to their playing style. However, even though in terms of assists they are only behind two teams in the entire Champions League, in terms of goals and shots on target, they are surpassed by both "Roma" and "Bayer". Among the strongest representatives of their national leagues, it is interesting to watch BATE Borisov from neighboring Belarus, who despite two defeats managed to beat a truly formidable opponent from the Italian capital at home.
