The Champions League has provided a lot of entertainment over the years. Top teams have scored in plenty and several of them have been stunning to look at for the fans.
There have been some fascinating fixtures that have not let our excitement levels come down when it comes to the number of goals scored. Such matches make the tournament the beautiful competition it is.
The Champions League round of 16 brings lots of goals
The Champions League round of 16 always arrives after a significant break from the group stages. During this period, the domestic competition continues and thus the flow and rhythm of a team are quite different during the knockout phase.
Clubs have heaped on goals in the round of 16 and made life difficult for the opposition. On that note, let's take a look at the top teams who have scored the highest number of goals in the round of 16.
#5 Chelsea
Chelsea made a name for themselves when they won the Champions League last season under new manager Thomas Tuchel. Not many expected the German manager to be this effective in such a short span of time.
Nevertheless, it was a moment for the Chelsea fans to behold. The Blues now face Lille in the round of 16 this season and it is going to be a tricky fixture. So far in the club's history, they have lost ten times in their last 16 fixtures.
The London club have scored 38 goals in the tournament's round of 16 matches to date. With a strong squad at their disposal, the goal count is likely to go up against Lille next week.
#4 Juventus
Not many teams are as unfortunate as Juventus have been in the 21st century. The Old Lady has failed to win the Champions League despite reaching three finals, two of which have come in the last decade.
Juventus are a massive force in the history of the tournament, having played 293 matches so far. The Serie A club have to date scored 469 goals, out of which 38 have come in the round of 16.
They now face Villarreal in their last 16 fixture and it is expected to be an interesting affair. Juventus aren't in the best form and will have to be sharp and clever to beat the Yellow Submarine.
#3 Real Madrid
The Champions League is just incomplete without Real Madrid in it. With 13 titles to their name, no other team has won the trophy more than the Los Blancos.
Having qualified for the tournament 47 times, Real Madrid have played 458 matches. The club also has a record for most wins in the competition with 273. With the Spanish giants always having the best of players at their disposal, goals have come on a regular basis for them.
The likes of Raul, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and many others have contributed goals in plenty for Madrid. Los Blancos have scored 1006 goals in the tournament's history, out of which 60 have come in the round of 16.
#2 Barcelona
This is the first campaign since the 2000-01 season when Barcelona have failed to make it past the group stage of the Champions League. Bayern Munich's 3-0 thrashing ensured the Catalan club's elimination from the tournament.
It is unnatural not to see Barcelona in the knockout phase but it is a difficult time for the Spanish giants. They have dominated European football for a significant amount of time in the last decade.
With the help of Lionel Messi and other great players, Barcelona have managed to score 655 goals in the Champions League to date. Out of which, 75 goals have come in the round of 16.
#1 Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich can be ruthless on their day, be it in the Bundesliga or the Champions League. The Bavarian club haven't shied away from scoring plenty irrespective of the stature of the opposition.
It is surprising how they have won the Champions League only twice in the last decade. With Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Arjen Robben and some world-class players contributing in goal for Bayern, there has been no shortage of goals. They have thrashed the likes of Barcelona and Arsenal in the tournament and made a statement of their intent time and again.
In Bayern's 369 matches in the competition, 774 goals have been scored so far, out of which, 88 goals have come in the round of 16. The German giants drew 1-1 against Salzburg on Tuesday.
