Yesterday's match between Arsenal and Real Madrid, which ended in a sensational 3-0 home victory for the Londoners, continues to delight with an abundance of astonishing facts.

Details: In the starting lineup for the "Gunners" was 18-year-old left-back Miles Lewis-Skelly. He faced off against the 39-year-old legendary Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric.

Interestingly, Lewis-Skelly wasn't even born when Modric played his first match at the Emirates Stadium for Tottenham in 2006.

Yet Lewis-Skelly delivered an incredible performance:

The left-back made more touches (74), completed more passes (54), created more chances (2), and provided more assists (1) than the Real legend.

Reminder: It was revealed today that Arsenal players ran 12.7 km more than their opponents in the match against the Madrid team.
