Champions League quarterfinal qualifiers statistics

Barça is way ahead in the CL when it comes to possession (69%) and completed passes (84%) Barça is also the clear leader in fair play with a total of 64 fouls committed, an average of only 8 per match

Of the eight teams that have qualified for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Barça is in general the team that has the best stats in the competition so far. As always, the team’s trademark style of play means that they are way out in front as regards possession (69%) and passes completed (84%). Bayern Munich comes in second but a long way behind with 58% and 77%, respectively.

In recent seasons, Barça has also become a team that commits few fouls and this European campaign has been no exception with an average of just 8 fouls per match, well ahead of second placed Borussia Dortmund with 11. In contrast, Barça has received 14 yellow cards and one red compared to Borussia’s 6 yellows.

Only two unbeaten teams

Bayern goes into the quarterfinals with the most victories (6), while Juventus and Dortmund (5 victories and 3 draws) are the only teams to remain unbeaten in this season’s Champions League. Meanwhile, Barça and Galatasaray have suffered the most defeats (2).

Real Madrid’s effectiveness in front of goal (104 shots on target) has made them joint top scorers (18 goals) with Bayern, though the German giants, with only 70 shots on target, have been far more efficient. On the other hand, Real Madrid has conceded the most goals (11), a long way from the defensive rigour of Juventus (4) and PSG (5).

The battle for top scorer

After 8 matches, Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) and Burak Yilmaz (Galatasaray) lead the scorer’s table with 8 goals apiece, ahead of Leo Messi (7) and Borussia Dortmund’s Lewandowski (5). The Turkish striker has scored his 8 goals from just 18 shots on target, a much better conversion rate than Cristiano (41) and Messi (26).
