100 - This will be Manchester City’s 100th game in the UEFA Champions League, while their 55 wins from 99 is already the most by an English side through a century of games in the competition. Overall, only Real Madrid have won more of their first 100 in the UCL (57). Elite.

2 - Only two teams have ever won by more than one goal away to Liverpool in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, however one of those victories was by Benfica (2-0 in 2005-06 in the Round of 16); the other being by Chelsea in the 2008-09 quarter-finals. Vigilant.

0 - Atlético Madrid didn’t attempt a shot in the first leg against Manchester City, while the last team to fail to record a shot on target across two legs in the UEFA Champions League was Deportivo La Coruña in the 2003-04 semi-finals (v FC Porto). Shy.
