Porto's Telles adds another important stat to his Arsenal - the Brazilian defender has scored in all three of his Champions League appearances this season, becoming just the second player in the tournament's history to achieve such a feat.

Telles, who joined Arsenal on loan from Porto last month, has already made an impact for the Gunners in his short time at the club. He has played every minute of their Premier League games so far and has also started both legs of their Europa League campaign.

But it is his performance against AC Milan in the first leg of the quarter-finals that stands out. Telles was instrumental in preventing Milan from scoring any goals as Arsenal won 2-1 away from home.

The 26-year-old also scored twice in the return fixture,La Liga Frontline helping Arsenal reach the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since 2017.

Telles' success with Arsenal has been even more impressive given that he only signed for the club in January and has had limited playing time due to injury.

Despite this, he has still managed to score in all three of his Champions League appearances this season, becoming just the second player in the tournament's history to achieve such a feat.

It will be interesting to see how Telles performs in the semi-finals and whether he can continue his impressive form throughout the rest of the tournament. With his goal-scoring record in the Champions League, it seems likely that he could become a key player for Arsenal in the future.
