Jadon Sancho emulates Lionel Messi with sensational Champions League display for Borussia Dortmund vs PSG as stats put his Man Utd displays to shame

<p>Sancho was in brilliant form as Dortmund won 1-0 at Signal Iduna Park in the first leg, thanks to Niclas Fullkrug's 35th minute goal. The Manchester United loanee turned in a supreme performance, and became the first Englishman to complete 11 or more take-ons in a single Champions League game, and the first to do so in a semi-final since Lionel Messi against Manchester United in 2008, who completed 16.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In a dismal spell at United, in which he scored 12 goals, Sancho never managed to complete over seven take-ons in a single game in his 58 league appearances, but he did so against PSG within 30 minutes.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">12 - Jadon Sancho completed 12 dribbles in tonight's match, the most by an English player in a UEFA Champions League match that Opta has on record (2003-04 onwards).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Against PSG, Sancho was the player who won the most duels (13), completed the most take-ons (12), and created the most chances (three).</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Dortmund play Augsburg in the Bundesliga this weekend before next week's second leg against PSG in the French capital, giving Sancho another chance to strut his stuff.</p>
