Marseille matches a 76-year-old club unwanted record
In the sixth round of the UEFA Champions League, Marseille travelled to Royal Union SG and repeated a club unwanted record.
Details: Marseille conceded a goal in the fifth minute, and according to OptaJean, this marks the fourth consecutive match in which they have conceded within the first 25 minutes. The last time this happened was in 1949, equalling a 76-year-old club record.
Meanwhile, Eintracht forward Ansgar Knauff’s goal also created an unwanted record for Barcelona, as the Catalans have now conceded in nine consecutive Champions League matches. This unwanted statistic matches their worst streak in history.
Reminder: Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder Karl Lennart became the youngest player in Champions League history to score in three consecutive matches.
