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.
One year and 17 days ago, Thomas Tuchel took charge of Chelsea. Since then:

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.
