8-4! 12 goals! The clash between Borussia Dortmund and Legia Warsaw has become the highest-scoring match in UEFA Champions League history, while simultaneously becoming the Black and Yellows' most goal-laden match in any European competition.

Record equalled: Only one team has previously scored 17 times in five UEFA Champions League group matches. In the 2015/16 season, Bayern hit that mark in a group containing Olympiacos, Arsenal and Dinamo Zagreb.

Dream return: Marco Reus made his comeback after 185 days out with injury – and what a performance it was! The 27-year-old scored three himself (32, 52, 90+2) and set up two more.

Record set: Borussia Dortmund's 8-4 victory over Legia Warsaw was both the highest-scoring UEFA Champions League game since the competition's inception in 1992 and the Black and Yellows' most goal-laden European game ever. The record had previously been nine goals (7-2 against Floriana La Valetta on 29/09/1992 and 7-2 against Odds BK on 27/08/2015).

Half-time record equalled: The last time there were seven goals in one half of UCL football was in 2003, when AS Monaco emerged 8-3 (5-2) victors over Deportivo La Coruna.

Goals glut: BVB scored eight in a European match for the first time in 51 years. On 10/10/1965 they recorded an 8-0 victory over La Valetta. They had never previously conceded four on home turf.

Three-goal salvo: Shinji Kagawa (17, 18) and Nuri Sahin (20) hit BVB's quickest-ever three-goal salvo in European competition (198 seconds).

Long time coming: Nuri Sahin's goal to put the hosts 3-1 up in the 20th minute was his first in European football in six years. He had previously found the net when BVB faced Paris Saint Germain on 21 October 2010 – but that was in the UEFA Europa League rather than the continent's premier club competition.

First goal: 18-year-old Felix Passlack scored his first competitive goal as a professional, heading home the rebound from Schürrle's effort to make it 7-3 (81).

Tally trebled: Shinji Kagawa had only previously scored once in the UEFA Champions League, against Arsenal on 23 November 2011. Tonight he was on the scoresheet twice as he hit Borussia's first (17) and second (18) goals to treble his tally.

Squad effort: 14 BVB players have already scored a goal in this season's UEFA Champions League; no other club has had as many different scorers.

Match-winners: Three Black and Yellows were involved in three or more goals against Warsaw: Marco Reus got three goals and two assists, Shinji Kagawa got a brace and one assist, while Ousmane Dembelé set up three and scored BVB's fourth (29). (fu)
