In the maelstrom over the controversy left by the return match between PSG and Barcelona, there was a record that the azulgrana team broke. East came with the penalty that they committed on Antoine Griezmann, and that, in the end, Leo Messi would fail. As 'Mister Chip' said, Barça is the team with the most penalties in favor in a single edition of the Champions League. Seven have been the maximum penalties they have enjoyed in the eight games they have played after being eliminated in Paris in the round of 16.
HISTORICAL RECORD – Barcelona is the first team to throw SEVEN PENALTIES in the same edition of the Champions League #UCL. Beats his own record from the 2011-12 season (when he pitched 6).
???? Chelsea have taken 6 penalties this season.

The paradox of it all that is they have been the ones who held the previous mark, with six, a figure they reached in the 2011-12 season. What's more, They also surpass Chelsea, which currently registers another six in this edition of the maximum continental competition. Therefore, the 'blues', pending to play their second duel against Atlético de Madrid, against whom they defend a 0-1 advantage, have the possibility of reaching that record after the elimination of the Catalans.
