💰 Do riches score goals: Premier League clubs make CL history | OneFootball

The phrase "Money doesn't score goals" is one of the most popular sayings among fans. It is associated with the hope that in the completely commercialized modern football world, it's not just about monetary means, but also about passion, team spirit, and sustainable work.

However, when looking at the current realities in the Champions League, this phrase holds little truth.

Background: With a whopping 19 goals in one matchday, the English representatives set a new record this week. In the history of the Champions League, clubs from one nation have never scored so frequently before! 

Chelsea and Liverpool dismantled their opponents on Wednesday evening with 5:1. Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Manchester City triumphed the previous day with four, three, and two goals respectively. 

What makes this statistic even crazier: With Tottenham Hotspur, last season's Europa League winner, one of the six Premier League teams even remained goalless. The record could have been significantly higher! 

In total, the clubs from the island spent a staggering 1.8 billion euros on this milestone over the summer. At the end of the day, money does indeed literally score goals.
