When Liverpool conceded early against AC Milan, I was quick to condemn them that they were not ready for this season's Champions League. I had to switch their match to that of Real Madrid verse Stuttgart which appears more interesting to me.

But within a short period of the time, the score line changed from 1 goal against Liverpool to 2 goals against AC Milan. Little did I know that Liverpool will go to the winning side while Real Madrid continue to struggle to even see a goal.

You're never obliged to believe me, but look as far as the first half goes. Milan took an early lead in the first half thanks to Christian Pulisic's goal in the third minute, but Liverpool came back and closed the first half with a pair of goals from their two central defenders. Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté scored goals to give Liverpool the lead in this match, so so far I can conclude that Liverpool can indeed be expected to maintain their record.

The second half has started and it looks like Liverpool will also increase the intensity of their attacks. I'm sure the match won't end with just 3 goals for both teams, but I'm still sure that there will be other additional goals throughout the second half. One thing that best supports my argument is that Mike Maignan, the best goalkeeper in the Milan squad, had to be replaced by 19 year old goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani due to injury.

Mbappe have netted the post on the first minute of the second half wirh a good finsih into an empty net, immediately Rodrigo gave him a beautiful pass. This is a beautiful start of the second half for Real Madrid and I believe that they will be able to score more goals as they are dominanting the match. Real Madrid is leading 1-0.

It is 3-2 in Bayern Munich match as their Dinamo Zagbreg was able to score two goals within two minutes. What a match as the teams that were unable to score any goal in the first half started the second half with goal scoring.

It's horrible that Real Madrid team are practically struggling at home to Stuttgart. They having an unbalanced game so far, they have not been clinical to get a goal. Really difficult for Mbappe still haven't adapted so fine with real madrid.

I ahd before now said it that Kylian Mbappe coming to Real Madrid doesn't make them super strong to beat any team at ease, and this is exactly what we are witnessing in tonight's champions league first match opener for Real. I hope they get back to the second half to secure a win.

It is currently raining goals in Milan right now, as Liverpool came from behind and stun AC Milan. At halftime Liverpool is leading by 1:2 and they are not looking like a team that's ready to stop scoring in this particular match. Liverpool are playing good football than AC Milan, even though Liverpool are playing away. Although it is just the first half that has ended and the second half is still there for any team to win. But with the intensity that Liverpool are playing, it will be difficult for AC Milan to accommodate them. We are still going to see more goals in this match as Liverpool are eager to score more goals, and kill off any chances of Milan equaliser.

yes, Stuttgart played very well in the first half. even at the beginning of the first half, we could see their game was very good even putting pressure on Madrid players who made several wrong passes. it's just that Madrid's game immediately improved and they got several opportunities near the end of the first half. had a chance to get a penalty, but it failed to be given because of VAR. if not, the match situation would have been different.
the second half must have been more interesting. maybe Stuttgart will take the opportunity to press at the beginning of the second half like they did at the beginning of the first half. it was quite effective in disrupting several players which gave them opportunities from wrong passes made by Madrid players.

Despite their poor start in the game, Liverpool have turned their fortunes scoring two goals in the first half. From the first few minutes of the game, who would have guessed Liverpool will be the side going into the second half with the confidence that they can actually win this one. AC Milan look like they cannot defend against Liverpool’s set pieces. I expect more goals from Liverpool in the second half.

One thing I have noticed this season about Real Madrid is that this season so far, they always struggle in First Half and somehow manages to find a way to win in Second Half. I'm fully optimistic that they will win FT.

Yes, that's right. Real Madrid were indeed very favored before the match started, especially Madrid as the defending champion. Bellingham's return did make Real Madrid's attack line even more terrifying, but after the match started what happened was that Real Madrid were overwhelmed against Stuttgart, they managed to create several good opportunities, but during the first half Real Madrid were under great pressure even in the first 7 minutes goalkeeper Courtois managed to make four saves on target against Stuttgart's goal. In the fourth save, he shouted to his teammates. Not only that, Courtois also managed to save his goal from conceding until the end of the first half.

Real Madrid's attack line is indeed good, but without defender Milito, Real Madrid had difficulty focusing on attacking because Stuttgart's counterattacks were very dangerous. From the first half I saw only Courtois, Rodrygo, and Bellingham playing well, the rest were not so good. Ancelotti must immediately rearrange his strategy for the second half if he wants to win and in the second half Vazquez must be replaced immediately, because his game was very bad in the first half, he often made mistakes. Even though Madrid had started to control the game, he often made mistakes, how many times did he pass the ball wrongly which ultimately resulted in a 1vs1 with Courtois.

Liverpool's appearance was ferocious in this match AC Milan still had difficulty withstanding the onslaught of its attacks, this is what we actually know Liverpool will win after seeing such a competitive game.

The defeat in the League yesterday was probably a slight tactical error from Arne Slot and now they are back to showing their best performance, although this has not fully won I think Liverpool can win.

Real Madird are still struggling to find goals with Vfb.

Did you see Kenan Yıldız's amazing goal? This kid will go far. The more he plays and gains experience, the more he will use his potential. Juventus beat PSV comfortably. If averages are going to be important in the new format, you need to score a lot of goals against such opponents. I watched the Aston Villa game and they also played very well. It ended 3-0 but the score could have been much different. Young Boys are unfortunately not a team at the level of this league. They will be one of the 8 teams to be eliminated first.

Liverpool has equalized and they are now ahead with one goal (Liverpool 2-1 AC Milan). The early goal from AC Milan led to transformation in the Liverpool team. It's funny how Liverpool defenders are registering their names on the scoresheet tonight as Van dik put them ahead of AC Milan. MO sallah would have made it three but he's been unlucky this first half finding it difficult to locate the back of the net.

As for Bayern, I know they are playing against a weaker team but truth be told they're playing excellent football and the scoreline justify it. It's first half and they are already ahead with three goals to nil. I expect more goals from their game coming second half.

Liverpool will probably win the match, even though Milan scored the first goal of the match. Liverpool lead 2-1 at the end of the first half. Konate's goal in the 23rd minute of the match equalized the Liverpool team. And in the 41st minute, Van Dijk's goal gave Liverpool the lead. Liverpool's defenders scored both goals in the match. Liverpool are totally attacking today. On the other hand, Milan is playing defensive strategy. Milan players made only 2 shots in the first half. On the other hand, Liverpool's players made 12 shots, 6 of them on target. Either way, Liverpool will want to secure 3 points from today's match.



In the match between Stuttgart and Real Madrid, we did not see any goals in the first half. Stuttgart players are playing very well. Especially the defenders of Stuttgart are playing well. Although Madrid created several attacking opportunities, each attack was successfully countered by Stuttgart's players. It won't be easy for Madrid to score in the second half either. Because Stuttgart's overall performance is very tidy.

Bayern Munich are off to a good start. They are leading the game with a three goal lead. Bayern do not take it easy with any club, Dinamo Zagreb may be a top club in Croatia but they are not at the level of Bayern Munich.

AC Milan 1- 2 Liverpool
Liverpool just scored, a perfect header from Van Dijk. The AC Milan defense cannot seem to maintain the onslaught of attacks from Liverpool. This is Liverpool at their very best.

Although Liverpool play away but so far Liverpool still have better dominance compared to Milan, although Milan managed to make a quick goal in the 3rd minute, but Liverpool still managed to make a return goal in the 23rd minute and make the match draw with a score of 1-1. But indeed, it does not seem easy for Liverpool to beat Milan at SanSiro. But the fact is that Liverpool continued to make great efforts in attack, of course, to make another goal and to win in this match, because finally in the 41st minute also Virgil van Dijk managed to make a goal and make the score now 1-2.

About Bayern Munich, obviously this is an easy match and I don't care about the background that Bayern Munich and Zagreb have because obviously, considered from various aspects also Bayern Munich is still better than Zagreb. Moreover, Bayern Munich is also playing at home and thus, Bayern Munich will also maximize this match to win with a big score to secure its position at the top of the table.

Ac Milan is trailing Liverpool with 1 goal nil from Pulisic in 3 minutes of the game. Liverpool are playing a high-line game given their opponent that opportunity to exploit their backline. I think if Liverpool could calm down they could level the score before the match enters into the second half.

meanwhile in Germany the host team Bayern Munich has scored also, taking a lead against the visitors Dynamo Zagreb.  A slam penalty kick from Harry Kane slotting the ball into the back of the net. If Bayern Munich wins the game tonight it's going to be a five wins for Vincent Kompany in 5 games.

Liverpool started the game poorly, they managed to calm themselves down and gain control of the game. AC Milan will have to remain solid in the backline not to concede another goal in the first half. After a disappointing weekend in the premier league, Liverpool are pressing hard for a win over Milan. Liverpool have asserted themselves in the game and have taken the game on. AC Milan have not hold on to the ball in the last couple of minutes.

The momentum that this game has started with will keep the game hot until FT. Liverpool had a bad week in the Premier League; they will be eager to bounce back and not have two bad games in a row. The score is now 1-1; Liverpool have found the back of the AC Milan goal.

Bayern start their Champions League campaign well. Harry Kane again!

It is end-to-end football; Stuttgart have had as many chances as Real Madrid has had. With Bellingham back, Real Madrid have a better chance to win, but I will not be surprised if Stuttgart pull a shocker.

What an equalizer for Liverpool on the 23rd minutes of the match with a beautiful header from Konate after a corner kick from Alexander Arnold. Liverpool have put themselves back to the game and there is hope for them that they can win this match if they pressure more. Twice Liverpool shot have been stopped by the bar. It is 1-1.

On the other hand Real Madrid is having good opportunities of scoring Stuttgart but they cannot find the back of the nwt especially Mbappe as Stuttgart goal keeper is stoping all his balls.

Atalanta last game against fiorentina, atalanta won 3-2 with their talisman Ademola lookman firing from all cylinders. The game against Arsenal will certainly be a tough one because atalanta will be playing with the mindset of meeting big side, so they will come out all in. The Arsenal of last season's champions League will be a bit different from this one, I believe they will be playing with an experience mindset and with a winning mentality driven from their last win to Tottenham. I believe is one of the interesting games we will be watching in the champions league as both teams are very unpredictable most times with their attack, though arsenal are the big boys here, but let's just see what Atalanta will do on Thursday since they are hosting Arsenal, maybe some home advantage with creep in.
