The Champions League was back to St James’ Park on Tuesday night, as Newcastle United played host to Benfica.

In total, nine matches in the competition last night.

Newcastle United helping to make Champions League history.

The nine Tuesday night results are below and an astonishing night.

With TNT Sports reporting that last night created history, the most(***) goals ever scored on a matchday in the Champions League.

Including the three scored by Newcastle United, which could/should have been double that, there were 43 goals in the Champions League last night, across the nine matches.

These are the results below.

(***This excludes of course the final day of the League Phase last season when 64 goals were scored, as that saw all 36 teams playing in 18 matches, not the usual nine you have now in the Swiss League phase.)
