Lewandowski chases milestone goal - Champions League in Opta numbers

The German giants are not the only top side looking for a response, with free-scoring Manchester City facing Lyon, who defeated Pep Guardiola's men earlier in this campaign.

City's group rivals Hoffenheim are on a peculiar streak as they continue to make strides in European football, while Cristiano Ronaldo has a record in his sights for Juventus.
