David Raya was truly a hero for Arsenal in this match, his impressive performance could thwart the penalty, and not only that, he also managed to block the follow-up shot afterward. Arsenal looked good enough in the early of the game, but without Martin Odegaard, they couldn't maintain their rhythm, and it is quite obvious that their creativity gets pretty bogged down. I think this draw is quite decent for both Atalanta and Arsenal.

Leipzig put up a tough fight against hosts Atletico Madrid. Their early goal surprised Atletico Madrid and they really showed that they had a very dangerous counter attack. It's just that Atletico Madrid has incredible composure and effort, that's why they were able to get the winning goal in the final minutes.

Brest's 2-1 win at home against Sturm Graz was not too difficult.The first half ended in a 1-1 draw after Brest's player Fernandes scored an own goal in the last minutes of the first half.Brest started the second half fast and immediately made the score 2-1 and the match ended with this score.
Monaco won against Barcelona.I must say that it was a result I did not expect.Barcelona's chances of winning the match had diminished after Eric Garcia left his team 10 men in the 10th minute.Barcelona scored 6 minutes after being down to 10 men and responded with Yamal 12 minutes later.Monaco won the match with Ileikhena's goal in the 71st minute and got an important win.

The high confidence for Barcelona ultimately undermined our expectations of almost many people in this match because statistically the game and the strength of the players it is clear that Barcelona is still very favorite in this match but an unexpected red card due to a mistake that actually did not need to happen actually made our expectations of Barcelona collapse.

I praise Monaco's play in this match where the pressure they put on went very well and this should also be a notice for other clubs where Barcelona is still very beatable even though in domestic competitions they are still very superior but the scheme that Monaco did at the beginning of the first half match is a concern for Flick so that this kind of situation does not repeat itself in other matches.
There are still 7 more matches for Barcelona so that they can improve their rhythm in the Champions League and the second match against Young Boys should be able to be utilized by Barcelona because they must get 3 points to make the Champions League standings more interesting.

If you talk about the class between Bayer Leverkusen and Feyenoord I think they are not too far apart Feyenoord is also not a bad team and far below leverkusen, until the Champion league also indicates that they are a strong team because they get the opportunity to gamble in the champion league.

Not all players can be great coaches, although Xabi Alonso has a good history in his career as a soccer player it does not promise that not all good players can be like him, he may be special and want to continue his career in soccer, I also think how he can be a great coach to beat Bayern Munich last season.

The Bracelona Monaco match can be called a real “black swan” of yesterday's game day. My friend had a bet on 8 events and he guessed right 7 out of 8, and the only match that blew the whole bet was the Barcelona-Monaco match, in which he naturally bet on Barcelona, but no one could really even think that Barcelona in the 10th minute received a red card and then most of the match played in the minority.
In general, Bracelona was lucky that they conceded only two goals and up to 72 minutes Barcelona somehow miraculously managed to keep the draw.

Barcelona spoiled a lot of people's bets yesterday because many people thought that Barcelona would be able to defeat Monaco, I thought before the match started I was thinking that Barcelona would find it difficult to win against Monaco because in the friendly match Barcelona against Monaco before the league should start Monaco beat Barcelona with 3 goals and they won a small trophy that Barcelona have been winning since 12 years, to be honest, Monaco humble Barcelona yesterday and let be honest even if Barcelona didn't get a red card I don't think they can defeat Monaco because those players of Monaco are playing a fantastic game and they are all young players.

Many people are blaming The goalkeeper of Barcelona that he is the cause of the goals and the reason why Barcelona lost yesterday but I don't think he is the reason because if Barcelona wanted to win the match yesterday the player that got a red card would not do what he did yesterday, as a player you have to think that the game just starting and even if they score your team can find a way to score back but he decides to foul and he got a red card, Barcelona will never win the champion league in the next 2 year's.

Atletico Madrid, which was 1 goal behind at first, made those of us who bet on them a little pessimistic. But fortunately Atletico Madrid was able to turn things around and win the match. And I am quite optimistic that in the next match Atletico Madrid will also be successful in winning the match again. Because their next opponent is Benfica and I don't think it will be a big threat to this team. even though Benfica is a pretty strong club. But with a very capable squad depth, Atletico Madrid should not lose to Benfica in the next match.

Atalanta and Arsenal must be willing to share points in this match. And actually Arsenal might not get full points in their next match against PSG. Because PSG is a tough team that is difficult to beat. It's just that because Arsenal are the hosts in the next match, Arteta's hopes of getting full points in that match are quite high.

Atalanta played to a goalless draw with Arsenal at home. Atalanta and Arsenal didn't have many scoring chances. Both teams played as if they didn't want to score many goals. Atalanta failed to capitalize on a penalty early in the second half.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, managed to defeat Leipzig 2-1 in a game in which they fell behind. Griezmann finished the match with 1 goal and 1 assist. Atletico had 3 times more shots than Leipzig but most of them were not on target.

Frankly, if it were not Raya, Arsenal would be losing three points. But he saved them with his two great saves. He deserved MOTM in this game.

Miscommunication between Ter Stegen and Eric costed Barcelona three points. He could pass the ball to the other CB instead of Eric. And i was sure they would win the game caused by no red card would be awarded to eric.

A heavy defeat at home to the Bundesliga representatives is one of the signs that Feyenoord is having problems, 4-0 is not good for a team of the Eredivisie class. I don't expect much from the Dutch League representatives in the UCL this season, their performance is too bad.
On the other hand, I am impressed with Florian Wirtz in the UCL, the two goals he scored made him man of the match in this match and the first German player to score 2 goals in his Champions League debut.

Regarding Benfica, they showed a good game and were able to steal points at the opponent's home, which is a good capital for their next match, congratulations to Benfica.

Barcelona really played outside their plan. Because they were forced to face Monaco by relying on only 10 players. Hansi Flick really cannot be blamed for Barcelona's defeat in that match. Because this defeat is quite normal. Because after all, playing with only 10 players since the first half must have been a very difficult moment for the Barcelona squad and also for Hansi Flick who had to re-arrange his strategy. But just losing by a narrow score is proof that Barcelona will be able to win if they play with 11 players. And yes, we can hope that Barcelona will win in the next matches.

We have a problem when it comes to trusting all this clubs just because any can happen in any game take example of what happened yesterday during the game im fact Monaco scored first followed by Barcelona and they even got a red card then I already knew that Barcelona have lost this game their is nothing they would have been able to do, because of the red card and people thought that flick might be able to come up with a better way to play during the second half and their is no magic that would have been able to perform, even Barcelona did not believe what happened, I was not happy when Erick was flagged red card because Monaco is not a kind of club that Barcelona would have been able to control during the game but what they did is not still bad at least they tried just that they could not stop them.

And they were driving by their previous goals but even how far that Barcelona have gone is a good game, they keep getting results, despite the ongoing situation and now they will have that feel of playing more careful next time because it is tough, and everyone is just waiting for real Madrid and that is when the real game will actually start because of Madrid play and this alone will even make the la Liga and the Champions League more interesting to watch just because of how they become when both of them are in form.

Frankly, Arsenal would have been defeated like Barcelona. Atalanta was last year's European league champion and they look dangerous this year as well.
They could have been defeated like Barcelona if Atalanta had converted the penalty opportunity into a goal.
It was a match that went in the middle and neither side could gain the upper hand over the other.

Barcelona defeat certainly surprised all of us at the moment because they were the favorite team in the match, actually Barcelona started the match well but I think, lose one player in a match of course it would make their game unstable, losing Garcia at the beginning of the match was obviously the main factor in Barcelona defeat in that match because I saw that even though Barcelona played with 10 players, they were still able to keep up with Monaco game throughout the match, it was actually quite lucky for Monaco to be able to maintain their victory if you look at the intensity of Barcelona's attack that increased towards the end of the match, to be honest, although Monaco may has known the weaknesses that Barcelona have, but if Barcelona had played with a full squad in the match then we might have seen a different result in end of the match,But despite all the reasons that exist, of course, the result of the match must make Barcelona even better in their next match in champions league.  

Opponents are the next thing to be worried about in the UEFA Champions League. Bayer Leverkusen is elite club and they will know their roots in epic form. Bayer Leverkusen stats in the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League is stationed to be magnificent. They've plans for soar higher in UEFA Champions League this season. Xabi Alonso can make that come to pass without hesitation. All he needs is simply to prepared tactical formats for his team and execute streak evident statistics for upcoming games. There are quite opportunities for Bayer Leverkusen to grab this season. Leverkusen are in the UEFA Champions League and watched their game results, it's been extremely incredible following the managerial role played by Xabi Alonso.

Feyenoord lost at home to last season's German champion Leverkusen.Feyenoord, who had no chance to score at home, conceded 4 goals from Leverkusen.We can say that all of these goals came in the first half.Although Leverkusen did not play very well, they achieved success by playing result-oriented.
Benfica, on the other hand, managed to win by defeating Kızılyıldız 2-1.The goals of Benfica were scored by our national team players Kerem and Orkun.It was pleasing for us that both players scored the goals that brought Benfica the win in this match.

Bad luck for Barcelona in last night's match, if Garcia had not received a red card, the final result would have been different. This player is really unreliable, that's why he rarely gets many minutes to play, let alone become a main starter. I wonder why Hansi Flick prefers to play him, rather than placing Pedri in his position and Torres played on the wing. What can be done, Barcelona lost to Manaco. In the end, every attack built by Barcelona's defenders had difficulty being channeled to the middle or to the front line. Even so, Barcelona remained determined to reply to their deficit. But unfortunately, with ten players they had difficulty simulating the system and tactics that Hansi Flick implemented. In the end, Barcelona had to admit their defeat to AS Monaco. In the next match, Barcelona must win match after match.

Bayer Leverkusen is surely team to watch in this season even their chances are not high as we have few top teams but still we can expect good results from them with as things are started their confidence is good and after every game they can feel better but in November we will be having challenges for them while they will be faced Liverpool at the Anfield, and then we will have them against Inter Milan and Atlético Madrid.

No doubt their current schedule is good for them which will give them good time for having some good adjustment which will be helpful for them to have their chances for going into top spots even I am sure they are having not good chances for going into top eight clubs but still things will be good for them to stay into better position with their quality and consistency.

In practice, that is a good strategy to apply when a coach realizes that the opponent's strength is better than the strength of his own team. But I always hope that big matches feature open play with several goals scored by both teams, but this didn't really happen in the Manchester City vs Inter match.  Manchester City dominated possession of the ball by being dominant in building attacks, but they were less fortunate in exploiting opportunities even though they had 22 shots throughout the match.

The match ended in a goalless draw and this was an advantage for Inter. Clearly a loss for Manchester City who could have been expected to win the game, but 0-0 was the result both ultimately accepted. Pep Guardiola needs to evaluate what his team's problems are against teams that focus on defense, so they can address them in the next game when another team tries to implement the same strategy to get points against Manchester City.

Despite the fact that Barcelona played with ten players, their performance against Monaco was poor. The Barcelona team could have won the game if E. Garcia hadn't been sent off in the first ten minutes, I noticed something in Barcelona's performance against Monaco, they seemed to be weak without Olmo, and his absence appeared to affect their performance. Barcelona management should have bought more players during the transfer window, considering how Olmo absence affected them against Monaco.

In addition, Hansi Flick has lost his first Champions League match in his entire career. Before joining Barcelona, he had never lost a Champions League game as a manager during his time with Bayern Munich, some bookies may be disappointed with the outcome of the game since, they picked Barcelona as the favorite, the match ended in a 2:1 victory for those who placed over 2.5.
