UEFA Champions League All competitions All competitions All competitions Bologna’s only previous European meetings with French clubs came during their 1998-99 UEFA Cup campaign, facing Lyon (W1 L1) and Marseille (D2) that campaign with Marseille eliminating them in the semi-final on away goals. Monaco have won just three of their 15 major European games against Italian teams (D3 L9), with this their first such meeting since the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League semi-final vs Juventus, where they lost both legs. Bologna are unbeaten in all 28 of their home matches in major European competitions (W16 D12), with only Ipswich Town playing more home games without losing in Europe in history (30). Only three teams have scored more goals in the UEFA Champions League this season than Monaco (9). It’s their joint most goals after three games in a season, along with 1997-98. Bologna have had the most shots without scoring in the UEFA Champions League this season (41) and have gone three major European games without a goal for the first time ever. Monaco had 27 shots on MD3 against Crvena Zvezda, their joint most in a UEFA Champions League on record along with the 27 they had against Lokomotiv Moscow in March 2004 in a campaign they went on to reach the final. Bologna have failed to score in any of their three UEFA Champions League matches this season. Only two Italian teams have gone four without a goal – Roma between 2015 and 2017 (four) and Milan in 2023 (five). Monaco have had the most different goalscorers of any team (excluding own goals) in the UEFA Champions League this season (7). Maghnes Akliouche has been directly involved in a goal in each of his first three UEFA Champions League for Monaco (2 goals, 1 assist). He’s only the fourth Frenchman to score or assist in his first three games, after Christian Karembeu in 1998, Karim Benzema in 2006 & Alassane Pléa in 2020, neither of whom did so in their fourth game. Bologna are the only team to have more than one player with 10+ tackles in the UEFA Champions League this season, with three players doing so – Jhon Lucumí (11), Stefan Posch (11) and Remo Freuler (10). © 2024 BBC.
