Article body
David Trezeguet scored twice for Juventus FC in tonight's UEFA Champions League Group D game against Olympiacos CFP to chalk up the 3,000th goal since the competition's inception.
Low drive
Trezeguet, who has found the net seven times for the Italian champions in Serie A this season, scored a 14th-minute goal to put his side 1-0 up but it was his second - a low drive midway through the first half - which made history.
Amokachi opener
Nigerian striker Daniel Amokachi scored the tournament's first ever goal when his solitary strike gave Club Brugge KV a 1-0 win against PFC CSKA Moskva on 25 November 1992. And it was five years ago yesterday that the 1,000th Champions League goal was scored by PSV Eindhoven's Dmitri Khokhlov in the Dutch side's 2-2 draw with SL Benfica.
