The favorites had fun in the 5th matchday of the Champions League and the nets groaned in many stadiums with Atlético, Atalanta, Leverkusen, Arsenal, not giving their opponents a night with a record number of goals as they scored 40 goals in nine matches! Apart from that, we also had the big surprise with City suffering a new disaster against Feyenoord, as they led 3-0 and finally it was 3-3!
In the evening’s derby in Munich, Bayern, with a goal from Kim, defeated Paris 1-0, who were left with 10 players due to Dembele’s dismissal in the 56th minute.
In Barcelona, Lewandowski scored two goals in a 3-0 win over Brest to reach 101 goals in the competition. This is how he became the third player after Ronaldo and Messi to enter the club of the underdogs.
In Manchester, the troubled City, who are showing signs of collapse, conceded a goal in the sack until Haaland opened the scoring with a penalty in the 45th minute to take a 3-0 lead and while everything seemed to be going for victory, Feyenoord’s sustained counter-attack led to the upset ( 3-3) shocking the “Citizens” who count six consecutive matches without a win (5 defeats) in all events. In stoppage time, Grillis had a goal…
In Lisbon, Sporting, without Amorim now on the bench, were crushed by Arsenal 1-5, while in Milan Inter beat Leipzig 1-0. The formidable Atalanta crushed Young Boys 6-1 in Bern. Walk for Leverkusen with 5-0 over Salzburg.
