West Ham United’s 30-year-old European record was finally beaten by Spanish champions FC Barcelona.
The current Champions League holders equalled West Ham’s unique record of scoring in 27 consecutive European ties last month with a 3-2 win against Milan, meaning that should they have scored against FC BATE in the Nou Camp the record would be theirs.
Unfortunately Barca found their scoring boots as they always do with the plethora of attacking talent at their disposal, and they have now moved on to 28 having finally overturned The Hammers unique record.
Well done Barcelona (through gritted teeth!)
