Paris Saint-Germain continues to demonstrate their superior strength in Europe by shattering a goal-scoring record that has stood for over two decades in the Champions League.

In the early hours of October 22 (Vietnam time), PSG visited BayArena to face Bayer Leverkusen in the third group stage match of the 2025/26 Champions League. The Parisian club started perfectly when Willian Pacho soared to head in the opening goal within the first 10 minutes.

According to statistics from Statsdufoot, the Ecuadorian defender's goal helped PSG set a new record for the most goals scored in a calendar year in the Champions League. Specifically, this was PSG's 39th goal in 2025, surpassing the previous mark of 38 goals set by Manchester United back in 2002.

However, Luis Enrique's side did not stop there. On a day of attacking brilliance, PSG netted 7 goals against the Bundesliga team, sealing a resounding 7-2 victory away from home.

After Pacho's opener, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia quickly doubled the lead with a decisive shot. Young talent Désiré Doué made his mark by scoring twice in the second half. The remaining goals were scored by Vitinha, Ousmane Dembélé, and Nuno Mendes, bringing PSG's total goals for the year to 45, an unprecedented figure in the history of the competition.

This record is even more impressive considering PSG still have 3 more European matches before the end of 2025. If they maintain this incredible scoring rate, the Parisian club could set an unimaginable new milestone in Champions League history.

Under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, PSG is showcasing an aggressive, direct attacking style while maintaining strong control. The French representatives are proving their ambition to defend their European crown, where they are the reigning champions. The crushing victory over Leverkusen not only solidifies PSG’s position at the top of the group but also sends a serious warning to all of Europe: the Parisian team is in peak form and ready to rewrite Champions League history.
