Juventus wins even without Ronaldo

Dhe co-favorites FC Barcelona and Juventus Turin started the new season appropriately in the football Champions League. For Paris St. Germain and his German coach Thomas Tuchel, on the other hand, the next attempt began a good two months after the final defeat in Lisbon against Bayern Munich with another defeat, and also the Champions League premiere of the German national players Kai Havertz and Timo Werner for Chelsea FC remained without the hoped-for sense of achievement.

Barca beat Ferencvaros Budapest in Group G after superstar Lionel Messi’s opening goal 5-1 (2-0). Messi broke the spell for Barcelona with a penalty (27th). Young star Ansu Fati (42nd) increased Ronald Koeman’s Champions League debut on the Catalans’ bench before the break. In the second section, the former Munich Philippe Coutinho (52nd), Pedri (82nd) ​​and the former Dortmund Ousmane Dembele (89th) increased the result further. The Magyars were only able to shorten the game temporarily with a penalty from Igor Charatin (70th).

Juve prevailed 2-0 (0-0) at Dynamo Kiev even without his former world footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, who was infected with the corona virus. Turin’s match winner in Ukraine was newcomer Alvaro Morata. The Spaniard represented Ronaldo brilliantly with two goals (46th and 84th).

Five-time world footballer Cristiano Ronaldo tested positive for the corona virus during his stay with the Portuguese national team last week. How long it will be out is still unclear.

Messi meanwhile, with his 116th goal in the premier class, shortened his deficit in the ranking of the most successful goalscorers in this competition against Ronaldo (130). Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) is fourth with a total of 68 goals, just four goals behind the already retired Spaniard Raul (72 goals), but pursued by the French Karim Benzema (65) from Real Madrid.

PSG had to admit defeat England record champions Manchester United 1: 2 (0: 1) in Group H in a duel between rivals from RB Leipzig. The PSG dream duo with superstar Neymar and world champion Kylian Mbappe remained ineffective. After the Red Devils were led by Bruno Fernandes (23rd), Tuchel’s team seemed to be able to avoid at least a home bankruptcy through an own goal by Frenchman Anthony Martial, before Marcus Rashford (87th) ensured Manchester’s victory.

Havertz, Werner and Co. tried in vain to get off to a successful start with Chelsea’s zero number against Europa League winners Sevilla FC.

In Borussia Dortmund’s group F, Zenit St. Petersburg surprisingly lost 1: 2 (0: 0) to FC Brugge. Emmanuel Dennis (63.) and Charles De Ketelaere (90. + 3) scored for the Belgian guests, Bruges goalkeeper Ethan Horvath hit the ball after a long-range shot by Dejan Lovren from the post to the back of the head and from there to equalize in the meantime (74 ).
