Benfica won the match 2-1 tonight with two Turkish players scoring goals.
Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Orkun Kökçü are playing well and have adapted very well to the team.

Barcelona lost 2-1 tonight against Monaco. Monaco played well and won.
Barcelona's young star Lamine Yamal made the score 1-1 but it was not enough for them to score a single goal.
Eric Garcia's early red card disrupted the team's plans.

It was a very easy win for B.Leverkusen. They beat Feyenoord 4-0.

In today's match Sparta Praha vs RB Salzburg, Sparta Praha team is leading by 2 goals. RB Salzburg team has not scored any goals so far. It seems that RB Salzburg team will not be able to score any goals in today's match. The performance of the players of RB Salzburg team is very bad.  For this match so far no goals have been scored. Sparta Praha team player K. Kairinen scored the 1st goal in 2 minutes. V.  Olatunji scored the 2nd goal in the 42nd minute to extend the lead.

Sparta Prague won by 3 goals in the match against Salzburg this time, unfortunately I didn't follow this match from the start.


PSG versus Girona will catch my attention, I bet on PSG winning in this match, the host is PSG, at least PSG will definitely win with a score of 2-0 (just my prediction).

dortmund versus club brugge will also be interesting, a win for dortmund will definitely be the final result.

the match that I will skip to bet on this time is man city vs inter (but I will definitely watch it, this match will be very exciting)

What is there to fear about in the Manchester city match? To me that's my most trusted match for today for home win. Manchester is going to win Inter Milan. Compare the current form in Manchester city dressing room right now, after winning 4 matches straight and Erling Haaland being in an electric form is going to fire Manchester city ahead before the end of the first half. Inter Milan are strong but not stronger than Manchester city at home. Forget about what happened in the final of the champions league they played, that was because Manchester city were being too careful. But this time around, Manchester city is going to play them proper football and they will confirm it. And the scoreline will prove it, no team gives Pep Guardiola trouble twice.
Sorry for the disappointment faced from this game and for any loses incurred if you happened to place stakes on Manchester City to win over Inter Milan. I’m pretty sure many other person made similar bets on Manchester City and lost too. Inter Milan defense was impenetrable, City could not crack it in the gam. Even the Man of the Match Award was not won by a Manchester City player but Barella for Inter Milan.

Barcelona are likely to lose their Champions League opener against Monaco. At the end of 80 minutes, Barcelona trailed 2-1. We had high expectations from Barcelona today. Because this team has won 5 matches of La League. Barcelona's players could have played better in today's match if the referee had not given Garcia a red card just 10 minutes into the match. It is not easy to perform well with 10 players.

Are referees biased? Or is he not experienced enough? I don't know exactly. But almost every decision taken by the referee in today's match goes against Barcelona. He gave a direct red card to Garcia. It would probably have been awarded a yellow card. He also gave yellow cards to Casado and Balde in the 88th minute. I don't understand the meaning of this either. He awarded the penalty decision. But he canceled the penalty decision due to var. However, I am not happy with the referee's behavior today. This is just my personal opinion.

Barcelona lost the match. But the boys of Barcelona tried their best. But we have to admit that Monaco's players also performed well in this match. In particular I would say Monaco's young midfielder Akliouche scored a great goal. If Akliouche can continue this form of performance, the Monaco club will earn a lot of money by selling Akliouche next season.
I don't understand the outcome of the game because I was busy watching Arsenal against Atalanta. Am unhappy to see that two games in today's fixtures had to cut my game. I was expecting Arsenal and Barcelona to win. It's annoying how Arsenal was playing only defensively throughout the game. Atalanta was so eager to win the game that the coach had to sub a lot of players to ensure that they would score in the game. But very unfortunate for them that the Arsenal defense is very hard to go through.

The game ended in a 0:0 draw as none of the teams could find the back of the net until the final whistle, Arsenal just played the first match of the champions League this season you don't expect them to play beyond their performance because they are in decent form in their domestic league don't forget that they played against the Europa League winners of last season despite Atalanta not being in a good form in the league but they are not a total bad team.

The game was a very tough one with both teams having the same playing strength, equal possession, same goal attempts so I think the game is supposed to end in a draw the way it ended because both teams were of equal playing strength tonight.
Atalanta was given a penalty that was caused by Partey and they failed to score. If the penalty was taken by Lookman I am certain that he would have scored. Lucky for Arsenal they have a good goalkeeper like David Raya. He was able to remove the ball from entering the goal twice. I believe he is the best keeper we can find in football these days.

It seems that RB Salzburg team will not be able to score any goals in today's match. The performance of the players of RB Salzburg team is very bad.  For this match so far no goals have been scored. Sparta Praha team player K. Kairinen scored the 1st goal in 2 minutes. V.  Olatunji scored the 2nd goal in the 42nd minute to extend the lead.

Sparta Prague really surprised me because I wasn't expecting them to go and Win with such a margin because I know Salzburg are actually not a bad team themselves and have played well in their visit other times in the champions league. Currently now the game is moving extremely well for the Czech team and Salzburg haven't been able to even get a reply to the three goals conceded.
Interesting game though, Sparta Prague were so dominant from the start of the game so it was already clear to see that they will win the game. Already leading two goals to nil in the first half, Sparta Prague continued playing comfortably and kept the game under control. They defended so well that Salzburg couldn’t get a goal or two shots on target. Sparta Prague were completely dominant throughout the game.

I think Salzburg lost some of their quality and power that they were known for a couple of years ago. Despite playing in the Austrian league, they were still one of those teams that had to be taken seriously as they did an incredible job in sourcing top talents from all over the world. But they were just this club that brings those stars closer to other top European clubs. At some point it is hardly possible to compensate for all those players lost due to transfer to bigger clubs. I didn't expect Sparta Prague to be that dominant against them. They didn't only score more goals than Salzburg, but they were the better team by a whole lot.

So far  today's game has been a tough one, Arsenal struggling with their opponent and missing penalty Tongue, Brest battling it opponent though they are are winning , Barcelona one man down right from the beginning of the game, the game is still on a tie one but I think Barcelona will still win even with their 10 players. Athletico on the other hand seem to also be struggling with their opponent quite an interesting one, only Leverkusen got it easy today with a 4 to nil win even before the second half Cheesy, what a night Smiley for  Barcelona , 10 players throughthe whole match...Yamal is a talent afterall but its still gonna be a tough night for them Smiley
Arsenal did tried all their best but again their midfield obviously is missing odegad, it was actually really clear he's needed, I could see that even from the formation of Atlanta they wanted to take advantage of the gap Arsenal is suffering at the midfield to make build up for opportunities they could use to defeat the Gunners but it's as if the gunner were playing all attack and all defense in a bid to make up for the midfield that was lacking and they tried and almost succeeded but Atlanta did messed up their chance which could have gotten them ahead of Arsenal. At some point it felt like Arsenal was been conservative too so they probably wouldn't concerned a goal, a fair start for Atlanta but they had a better chance to have done better.
Losing many players due to injury certainly makes the situation more complicated for Arsenal so Arteta tries to rack his brains even when looking at Kai's new position which has always been used as a targetman now used as a playmaker it indicates that Arsenal are a little troubled with the current squad.

In the end, one point is still a positive thing even though their chance for 3 points is actually very large but Arsenal must be willing to share points with Atalanta in their first match this time.

Statistically the actual match in my opinion is a fairly monotonous match even if you see Barcleona and Monaco who play at the same time of course it's better especially seeing Barcleona lose is a separate entertainment in my opinion for this opening match.

But it is true that Monaco players also played very well. They created a pretty good attack pattern with the long ball passes they showed.
I guess or think that it was for sure the red card for Barcelona that they lost this game against Monaco.
It would be a different result if they hasnt got it.


Looks like that Leverkusen made there homework with there win today against Feyenoord Rotterdam with 4 Goals.
Only Leipzig was not able to make a draw or win there match in Atletico Madrid , as it is always hard to play there.
Over all i guess the german teams was starting very good for there first Champions League games.

With Monaco in front and one man down for Barcelona, I think it will not be easy for Barcelona on the night.
Well it won't be easy at all for Barcelona. And it seems like the two teams from Laliga today weren't lucky enough. Because currently Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both 1 goal behind their opponents in the first half.

But I am grateful that as I write this Barcelona has managed to equalize the score at 1-1. Thanks to a goal from talented young player Lamine Yamal. I don't think Barcelona will give up on their unfortunate situation of having to play with only 10 players after Eric Garcia was sent off.
Barcelona's game will not be optimal if they lack 1 player, maybe they will be a little depressed by Monaco because they take advantage of the situation where Barcelona is lacking in attack and defense.
As far as possible, it must balance the game, otherwise Barcelona will be left behind in the second half.

But there is still a chance for Barcelona to win, they have some great players in them although a little lacking because of the red card.
Flick will probably make a defensive strategy again in the second half and they may rely on counterattacks.
I hope that Barcelona will not allow the red card given to them affect their mentality because it will reflect in their performance. However, I see that they are able to contain it because it was after the red card that they could still equalize the goal.

They should be more careful in the second half and find a way in which they can use to win the match and not allow Monaco to defeat them if not it will be a bad start for them this season.
Despite Barcelona equalizing the match making it a 1-1 draw with one man out I don't think they can be able to win this game because the red card is really showing on them as AS Monaco keeps one puting more pressure on them I think the only thing Barcelona could do In this match is to try and play more of defense so that they could get a draw in this match if they choose to come and play with Monaco it is really going to be bad on them because with the advantage AS Monaco has now they will try everything possible to make sure they are victorious in this game and also with the advantage of them been at home , Barcelona will be excited if they could get a draw in this match.

Hahaha finally it is a lost battle for for Barcelona after the the one man down, they where unable to lick their wound even though they tried to cover things up, monaco was seriously maximizing hitting back at them and the pressure was much on them, it is 2:1 victory for Monaco against Barcelona, The both played to their best but Monaco stood on taken much of the home advantage over Barcelona. But however, undoubtedly Barcelona would have been better if they had a draw game, but it is over now and what more can we say. Barcelona lost is a big loss , for many must have predicted them to either win or draw.

Atlanta vs Arsenal match has apparently turned to be more like that of Manchester City and inter Milan game yesterday, the both teams are performing very well but finding it very difficult to shake the net, am very curious which team is going home victorious or is it going to just end a goaless draw just like that of Manchester City and inter Milan yesterday game. But however, I wasn't expecting less performance form both teams on today's match considering the fact that they are also doing very well even at their local leagues. It is already second half of the game and it is still at goaless draw, am waiting patiently for the full time result.
I really hope Arsenal can win this match. Because I really like them for this match. I hope Arteta doesn't disappoint everyone who bet on Arsenal. And actually, after several seasons Arsenal always failed to go far in the UCL, I hope that this season Arsenal can go further to the final. Because I think a great coach like Arteta must have experience in more tense matches like the UCL Final.

The second half has entered the 75th minute and the score has not changed, namely still 0-0. but I'm sure there will be a winner in this fight. And maybe Arsenal will be able to win with a narrow score of 0-1.
It is all good the game ended in draw because seeing the game very tough it as if the both team had the same chances to win. It is better the ended in draws than for arsenal to lose being their first champions league game for the season. To me the outcome of the game for arsenal was not bad because Atalanta is a team also doing well. For arsenal not ot give Atalanta the chance to win them that means they are ready for the Champions League this season, and it will be difficult for any team to defeat them. Arsenal really needs to try their best to perform better in champions league to last longer in the competition.

Arsenal is unable to find the back of the net in their first match till this moment and they are playing with a team that is trying to pick form whereas, Arsenal is in form. This is surprising that Atalanta is threatening Arsenal and depriving them from scoring. I feel bad that English teams are finding ir difficult to win Italian clubs even when we feel that these English clubs are more stronger than the Italian clubs or are we wrong on that.

The game ended in a 0:0 draw as none of the teams could find the back of the net until the final whistle, Arsenal just played the first match of the champions League this season you don't expect them to play beyond their performance because they are in decent form in their domestic league don't forget that they played against the Europa League winners of last season despite Atalanta not being in a good form in the league but they are not a total bad team.

I don't think you're the only one who has thoughts like that about the referee in the Monaco vs Barcelona match. Because I think we here who watched the match also think the same as you. So it is very natural that the Barcelona players were even a little provoked by this and made them lose concentration, especially near the end of the second half. I'm also not very happy with some of the referee's decisions in today's match.

But it is true that Monaco players also played very well. They created a pretty good attack pattern with the long ball passes they showed.

This match also closes the first round of UCL matches this season. And we'll look back at the second round matches next month. I hope Barcelona doesn't lose their luck again in their next match in the UCL. Because they should really deserve to be able to win more games.

Monaco gave Barcelona early lesson this season, I expected Monaco to fight back again as they are at home and considering this is their home for the match and this will allow the internet football to cool down for while because ever since Barcelona has start this season, they haven't allow us to breath even small but now that they have lost this one, even Real Madrid fans will be able to return the same banter they have seen in Laliga.

I don't know what's wrong with Arsenal but I'm glad I didn't bet today because what Manchester City did to me yesterday I never expected and I wasn't sure about today and my instinct was right about my decision. As for the trophy, I'm use to Arsenal and there disappointment. If they like they should improve and if they like they should play what they like but I will continue to be a fan.
Thewhole stuff kicked in after the first red card and that made their defence grow weaker, Barcelona doesn't have that much of a strong defence yet even though xavi tried to work on that in his te as the coach of the club. Today game ended with a  lose actually but Barcelona had a tough time seriously  Smiley all they could do was defend more with just few shots of attack while Monaco had upto 17+ shots I think, I don't think Barcelona had even upto 5 yet they made use of one out of it.
About the Bannter, it's normal for the fans to do that Cheesy last league and UCL was tough for Barcelona  and there were lots of mockery to the club & banter from different angles it even grew more when the news about their financial status became known, the fans are only returning the same Cheesy, it's parallel fans will always be fans and they are gonna do fan things Smiley

I don't like such crushing victories against weak teams. You can be a very good team and the opponent can be a very weak team, but I don't think it's right to underestimate the opponent by scoring 9 goals. Bayern, especially in the Champions League, haven't been able to get the results they want lately, especially when they play against a team at their level. After seeing the opponent's condition, I think they shouldn't score so many goals in such matches. They should save their strength for teams at their level.

I don't agree with saying that Dinamo Zagreb is a weak club because after all when the level is already in the Champions League it indicates that they are a strong club in their domestic competition so they represent in the Champions League and that means there are no weak clubs in the Champions League. As for when Bayern managed to break their 2-8 record in 2020 with a record 9 goals in yesterday's match it indicates that they are still above average not that Dinamo Zagreb is weak just that Bayern's level is more than that.

Now it seems that being Bayern is all wrong when they lose then Kompany will be considered unable to give the best for Bayern but when they win with a big score like this there are still those who comment that this is a natural thing because the club against is very weak. Even though this is an effort or momentum that Kompany wants to build so that he can prove himself that he is one of the coaches who deserves to be at Bayern today and indirectly wants to say that Bayern with Kompany is still one of the clubs to be reckoned with in the Champions League.

I hope the Barcelona players can be more careful and not be emotionally provoked into making more mistakes that could be detrimental to them and the team. Because I see the Barcelona players starting to be provoked now. Losing one player is hard enough and I hope no one else leaves the field.

Currently Barcelona is behind with a score of 2-1. And Barcelona must continue to concentrate on not conceding any more and make counterattacks as much as possible to equalize. Because if Monaco scores one more time then it will be over for Barcelona. Currently the match has entered the 80th minute. And there is still time left for Barcelona to equalize the score.
The Barcelona and Monaco match is really starting to heat up. because as you said, it seems like the Barcelona players are starting to get provoked in this match. I think some offenses aren't even necessary. And the referee always seems to be too quick to issue yellow cards in this match. I hope Barcelona can remain calm. Don't let them lose and also lose some players due to accumulated red cards.

Currently, all the matches are almost entering the final minutes of the match and it seems that only the Brest vs Sturm match and the Monaco vs Barcelona match will end in victory for one of the teams. Because the Atalanta vs Arsenal match and the Atletico Madrid vs Leipzig match, the score has not changed at this time, namely it is still a draw.

Few minutes left in the games so far we only have 1 unexpected result.
Barcelona is losing by 2-1 vs Monaco and they also have a red card.

Solid game from Atalanta too versus Arsenal.
Only 1-1 for Atletico vs Leipzig, can they score another goal in their home in the final 5 minutes?

It is looking like Barcelona is out of the champions league this early because Monaco has just pulled a fast one on them. If this penalty is awarded, that will keep the match at three goals to one which will put Barcelona in a very bad position. Ops, the penalty have just been cancelled which is a huge relief for Barcelona. With one goal difference, they will still be able to salvage that when they host Monaco. I am truly impressed with the performance of Monaco and at the same time, Barcelona really played with a dampened spirit tonight, maybe due to the early red card given to Eric Garcia.

Although I expected a good win margin but not up to nine goals. In my stake I placed my bet on over 3.5 goals to be scored in the match but Bayern Munich exceeded my expectations and thrashed Dinamo Zagreb nine goals to two…..a scoreline similar to 8:2 trashing of Barcelona in the champions league some years back. Vincent Kompany is doing a good job with the current players in his possession especially Musiala and Oliseh who are in superb form this season.


Bayern Munich was way much better than Dinamo Zagreb in this match and that victory was a well deserving one for them. They’ve been playing great under the leadership of Vincent Kompany and this shows that he’s a good coach that can be dependent on to lead Bayern Munich to victory in the champions league as well as the domestic leagues in which they’re also a major contender for the league title. I don’t have anything to say against Dinamo Zagreb, they were not a team that can stand Bayern Munich, so they lost the game with a very wide goal margin which is what Bayern Munich are used to when coming to trash big teams.

Barcelona had 10 men left in the 10th minute of the match, with the first half ending 1-1. Eric Garcia received a red card. Monaco made the score 1-0 6 minutes after this goal. Barcelona made the score 1-1 with Yamal in the 28th minute.
Barcelona is constantly using offside tactics due to the negative situation of remaining with 10 men. Monaco scored in one of these offside tactics, but the goal was canceled because the position was offside.
If Monaco players find a solution to this tactic, they will easily score a goal or goals. Barça has difficulty moving the ball forward because it has 10 men.

Barcelona down to 10 men does not still cause them to not be dominating in this game. It was such a pity to have one man sent out from the early minutes of the game. I expected Barcelona to be able to handle the pressure and make it to the end of the game to either finish with a draw or a win against Monaco. Monaco are not a weak team though, but I feel Barcelona can still dominate and win the match. But one more goal scored from Monaco and taking the lead again, I’m beginning to doubt if Barcelona can win this match.
