Champions League: Messi scored only one line in Bruges, nine goals in the City

The star of the second evening was Sebastian Haller from Côte d’Ivoire, who helped with four goals to a surprising win of Ajax Amsterdam on the course of Sporting Lisbon 5: 1. The victory of Real Madrid at Inter Milan 1: 0 was decided only at the last minute by the Brazilian substitute Rodrygo. The Moldovan newcomer in the elite competition Sheriff Tiraspol defeated the much more experienced Shakhtar Donetsk 2: 0 in the premiere.

Last year, Leipzig suffered the highest loss on the European stage 0: 5 in Manchester on the rival United. This time he collected another goal on top, but Nkunk’s three goals reduced the severity of the loss a little. The goals of the home team were shared by six shooters, including Grealish, who became the most expensive player in the English league when transferring from Aston Villa.

Two years ago Germain won in Bruges 5-0 and Mbappé succeeded in a hat-trick as a substitute. This time he turned into a recorder and prepared a goal for Herrera. However, the home team was not as committed an opponent as before, and Vanaken equalized with a dotted shot. Argentine Messi did not add another goal for Barcelona in the 150th match in the Champions League. After half an hour, he hit the line and Icardi did not take the chance at the end.

Liverpool’s match with AC Milan with its drama reminded fans of the final of 2005, in which the Italian club led 3: 0 and eventually lost to penalties. This time the English team had a better start, already in the 9th minute Tomori knocked the ball into his own net. Five minutes later, it could have been 2: 0, but the Egyptian Salah, who celebrated his 100th goal in the Premier League on Sunday, did not convert the penalty imposed on the hand of Algerian Bennacer. He was all the more sorry that the Croatian Rebic and the Spaniard Diaz turned the result around halfway through. After a change of side, Salah made a point for the visitors’ goal, but Henderson scampered the ball home.

Sporting Lisbon, which celebrated the Portuguese title after 19 years this year, has not lost 22 matches at home since last October, but has capitulated twice in the match with Ajax during the first nine minutes, thanks to Haller. Paulinho reduced Pasveer’s goal after a rough shot, but in six minutes it was again two guest goals thanks to Berghuis. After the change of sides, Haller added two more hits, while Paulinho’s second goal was canceled after consultation with the video due to offside.

Real Madrid won both matches over Inter Milan a year ago, and the Italians did not even succeed in retaliation. Bosnian Dzeko had the best chance to change it, but he did not change it. It already looked like the new Inter coach Simone Inzaghi would get at least one point, but just before the end, the alternating Rodrygo secured Real’s win.

In the match Atlética Madrid and Porto, the spectators did not see a goal. The guests were closer to him, but the video always took them pleasure. First it deprived them of a penalty and then of a goal, because Taremi helped himself in front of him with a foul. At the hectic end, the guests still lost the excluded Mbembo.

Borussia Dortmund won at Besiktase Istanbul 2: 1. The main hero of the match was the 18-year-old Englishman Bellingham, who scored the first goal and passed it to Nora Haaland on the second. Besiktas, who returned to the group after four years, did not get a single goal in the Turkish league in the four opening rounds, but in a duel with Borussia he capitulated to the first shot on goal. Bellingham made a run for the goal 20 minutes into the game but the home team’s far left defense managed to sort the situation out in the end.

At the set time of the first half, he broke through again into the penalty area between the three defenders, presented the ball to Haaland, and it was a toy for the king of last year’s scorers to improve his goal account. The Norwegian gunner has a balance of 66 goals in the same number of matches in the yellow and black jersey.

The Turks demanded penalties twice in vain, until in the fourth minute the setting was at least reduced to 1: 2 after a direct kick by the Spaniard Montero.

The sheriff, who bit into the main stage from the first preliminary round over four opponents without defeat, continued the winning campaign. With 16 minutes played, Adama Traoré of Mali fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. The Ukrainian team, which managed to beat Real Madrid twice last year, clearly dominated the possession of the ball and had a chance. But Greek goalkeeper Athanasiadis, who came to host from AEK Athens in the summer, kept a clean sheet. On the other hand, after a change of sides, Yansané from Guinea added a second goal with his head, again after a pass by Brazilian Cristiana.
