30 - Paris had 30 shots tonight, the highest tally on record (since 2003-04) without scoring for a team in a UCL knockout stage match. They hit the woodwork four times, also the most on record in a KO stage match. Inaccurate. #PSGBVB

The average age of PSG's starting XI tonight is 24 years and 157 days. That's the youngest starting XI in a Champions League semi-final since this Arsenal side in May 2009...

Erik ten Hag fielded a 14th different centre-back combination against Crystal Palace on Monday night. With so many forced changes, is it any surprise his Man Utd side have struggled for consistency? Analysis from @alitweedale ⬇️ | #MUFC
