Crvena Zvezda (CZ) last hosted us in a European match in December 1972 in the UEFA Cup winning 1-0 but going out 2-1 on aggregate. CZ have never lost a home match in the European Cup / UEFA Champions League against an English opponent (W2 D2 L0), winning 2-0 last season against Liverpool.
Including qualifiers, CZ have only lost 2 out of their last 21 home matches (W11 D8 L2), though one of those was against English side Arsenal in October 2017 meeting in the UEFA Europa League. There have been a total of 104 attempts on goal in CZ's opening three CL games this season (40 for and 64 faced) - FC Bayern Munich (102) are the only other side to see over 100 shots in their games in the competition this campaign.
CZ's Marko Marin created 6 chances in their 5-0 defeated against Spurs on Match Day 3 - No player has created more in the UEFA Champions League this season (13, level with Toni Kroos).
Our 5-0 win over CZ on Match Day 3 was our biggest victory in major UEFA European competition since winning 6-1 against Anothosis Famagusta in the UEFA Cup in September 2007. Our last two UEFA CL matches have been by a five-goal margin, losing 2-7 to Bayern, before winning 5-0 against CZ. We are only the 2nd team to have a 5+ goal defeat and victory in the group stage of a CL campaign, after Rosenborg in 2000-01 season.
Kane has scored 18 goals in just 22 UEFA CL appearances, including 4 in three games this season. In the history of the competition, the fewest number of games needed to reach 20 goals is 26, set by Alessandro De Piero in April 1998. We have both scored and conceded 9 goals in the CL so far this season - in none of the previous 27 seasons had this ever occurred after 3 games, although FC Red Bull Salzburg have also done so this season (11 for, 9 against).
Lamela had a hand in 3 of our 5 goals against CZ last time out (One goal, Two assists); he has been directly involved in 8 goals in his 8 CL starts for the club, scoring 2 and assisting 6.
