Robert Lewandowski (L) and Corentin Tolisso (24) scored in Bayern Munich's win over PSG

It was a long shot for Bayern Munich to top their UEFA Champions League group but they did give Paris Saint-Germain a scare as they beat the Ligue 1 side 3-1 at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night.

A goal from Robert Lewandowski and a brace from Corentin Tolisso were enough to give the Bavarian side all three points and hand the Parisian club their first defeat of the European campaign with Kylian Mbappe scoring the only goal for PSG.

Here are the major talking points from the game.


#1 Records tumble as both Bayern and PSG score

PSG club record
PSG set a new club record for goals scored in a single campaign as they topped the group

It was a night where records were broken and milestones were reached as both teams got on the score sheet.

Bayern became only the third side to score 250 goals at home in the Champions League. The Bavarian side took 111 matches to get there.

The other two teams to reach that mark got there much faster, though. Real Madrid have since gone on to score 305 goals (118 matches) while Barcelona have scored 287 (114 matches).

On the other hand, PSG equalled the club record for most goals scored in a single Champions League campaign. The Ligue 1 club finished the group stage with 25 goals from six matches!

Kylian Mbappe's goal also made him the youngest player to reach 10 Champions League goals (in only 15 games). A couple of weeks shy of his 19th birthday, the young Frenchman shattered the record previously set by his compatriot Karim Benzema.
