    The Group Stage featured 276 goals. Here is how many in each group:

    A: 45
    E: 40
    H: 37
    F: 36
    B: 35
    G: 31
    C: 27
    D: 25

    Valencia scored more goals than the other three clubs in the group combined but still didn't win the group as they finished second to Manchester United.

    Here are the absolute values of the score margins for each game before each goal was scored:

    0: 108 times (92 of these were for the first goal of the game)
    1: 93 times
    2: 44 times
    3: 18 times
    4: 8 times
    5: 4 times
    6: 1 time

    The mean of these 276 numbers is 1.06.

    Defining the game-winning goal as the goal that gave the winning club the lead for the final times (possibly for the only time), 135 of the goals (48.9%) were scored after the game-winning goal. If you take out the 38 goals scored in the 17 draws (draws have no game-winning goal) then 56.7% of the goals scored in games with winners were scored after the game-winning goal.
