Lille, Aston Villa and Benfica made history tonight with their great victories over Real, Bayern and Atletico respectively, in the 2nd installment of the matches of the 2nd matchday of the Champions League, which had a strong Greek color.
Christos Tzolis scored one of the best goals of matchday 2 for Brugge 0-1 in Graz and Pavlidis had a great chance to make it 2-0 at the end of the half but his shot hit the post and in the 2nd half he won a penalty for Di Maria’s 2-0 in a match where Benfica thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0.
Aston Villa defeated Bayern 1-0 as it had done in 1982 in the final of the Champions Cup, while the remarkable fact is that the newcomers in Europe, Girona, lost their first two games (from Paris and Feyenoord), where they received a total of four goals of which three were own goals!
