Barcelona present in Ruiz's achievement: Villarreal sign a disastrous record

An exceptional night for the Paris star

Fabián Ruiz set an exceptional record after a standout performance on Tuesday evening, driving Paris Saint-Germain to a crushing six-goal demolition of Villarreal in the fourth round of the Champions League league phase.

The Spaniard struck twice against the Yellow Submarine. His first, and Paris's fourth, arrived in the 17th minute. He then returned at the start of the second half to grab the fifth for Luis Enrique's side on 55 minutes.

That double made Ruiz the second Spanish player to score a brace against another Spanish side in Champions League history.

Only one man had managed it before. According to "MisterChip" statistics, Valencia's Miguel Ángel Angulo scored twice against Barcelona in the 4-1 win in the second leg of the competition's semi-final on 2 May 2000.

Villarreal, meanwhile, slumped to a record of their own. They became the first Spanish side to lose by six goals at home in a Champions League match. Only Deportivo La Coruña had come close, beaten 5-0 by Monaco on 8 December 2004.
