Veteran Sergio Ramos has scored the 10,000th goal in the Champions League. The 37-year-old professional footballer scored for Sevilla FC to give them a 1-0 lead against PSV Eindhoven.
According to the data service provider Opta, the 29th-minute goal came 31 years and four days after Bruges' Daniel Amokachi scored the first goal in the history of the Champions League in 1992. Goals scored in qualifying before the group stage do not count in this statistic.
