Another exciting round of Champions League games are in the bag, with a total of 74 goals scored across matchday three.

And with 18 games in total, we pick apart the midweek action as we run through the leaders of a number of creative metrics.

Champions League Assists: Ngumoha celebrates memorable night

A total of 48 players provided at least one assist in matchday three of the Champions League, though only three registered more than one.

One of those was Rio Ngumoha, who enjoyed a fine showing as Liverpool claimed a 4-3 win over Villarreal.

Elsewhere, Manchester City star Rico Lewis registered a brace of assists against AEK Athens, and so too did Bodoe/Glimt star Sondre Fet, albeit in a 4-3 loss to Napoli.

Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne and Martin Odegaard were among those to provide for a teammate in midweek.

Champions League Chances Created: De Bruyne comes in clutch to ease pressure on Allegri

De Bruyne should have had more than one assist in Napoli’s 4-3 win over Bodoe/Glimt.

That’s because the Belgian maestro created seven chances against the Norwegian outfit, more than any other player on matchday three.

Joao Neves managed six as Paris Saint-Germain got the better of Barcelona, easing to a 4-2 win in Paris on Tuesday.

Michael Cuisance and Carney Chukwuemka, meanwhile, both managed five for Lens and Borussia Dortmund, respectively.

Champions League Big Chances Created: Hakimi shines down the PSG right

Achraf Hakimi only managed one assist in PSG’s 4-2 win over Barcelona, though it wasn’t for want of trying.

Indeed, the Moroccan right-back created more big chances (3) than any other player on matchday three.

A further 11 players, including Ngumoha, De Bruyne and John McGinn, all created two for their respective sides across Tuesday and Wednesday.

Champions League Through Balls Attempted: Kane turns provider as Bayern held by Arsenal

Harry Kane scored for the 10th Champions League game running in Bayern Munich’s eventual 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Wednesday.

Not before providing the assist for Alphonso Davies’ opener as Kane maintained his Ballon d’Or quest.

The England international did everything in his power to pry Arsenal apart as he attempted three through balls at the Allianz Arena, more than any other player in midweek.

10 players, meanwhile, attempted two, with Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes and De Bruyne among them.

Champions League Passes: Bjortuft does everything to help Bodoe/Glimt

Bodoe/Glimt may have fallen to a 4-3 defeat in Naples, but they had the higher share of possession in Italy.

That they saw 56.8% of the ball against Napoli was down to the impact of Odin Bjortuft, who managed 116 passes at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Bjortuft helped Bodoe /Glimt dominate in midweek

That he scored an own goal obviously didn’t help matters. Club Brugge defender Jorne Spileers (110) ranked second here, while teammate Hans Vanakan (105) rounds off the top three.
