Liverpool Star Joins Exclusive Club After Equalling Champions League Record in Man City Demolition

Liverpool midfielder James Milner joined an exclusive club with only Neymar and Wayne Rooney during Wednesday's thumping 3-0 over Manchester City when he equalled the Champions League assist record for a single season.

Milner provided the pass to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to smash home Liverpool's second goal of the night in what was a hotly anticipated quarter final first leg.

Including qualifiers, that was the 32-year-old's eighth assist in the Champions League season, matching Neymar's assist tally for Barcelona in 2016/17 and Rooney's for Manchester United in 2013/14, UEFA have reported.
