Real Madrid, which was weakened in terms of replacements and David Alaba was also missing, was able to rely on Mbappe against Olympiacos. The Frenchman scored a flawless hat trick within 6:42 minutes (22nd, 24th, 29th), and in the second half he added his fourth goal (59th). They were goals six to nine in the current league phase for Mbappe.
As a result, the goals conceded by Chiquinho (8th), Mehdi Taremi (52nd) and Ayoub El Kaabi (81st) were irrelevant. Incidentally, the fastest hat-trick in the history of the Champions League to date was achieved by Mohammed Salah, who struck three times in 6:12 minutes in Liverpool’s 7-1 shooting festival at Ibrox Park against Glasgow Rangers on October 12, 2022 as a “joker” in the 76th, 80th and 81st minutes.
Rejection for Liverpool
Liverpool is currently a long way from these glory days. The current misery of the “Reds” continued just a few minutes after kick-off. After a handball from Virgil van Dijk, Ivan Perisic (6th minute) converted the penalty at Anfield to give Eindhoven the lead.
Former Salzburg player Dominik Szoboszlai (16th) managed to equalize early with a goal, but Guus Til (56th) and Couhaib Driouech (73rd/90th + 1) put PSV in the lead again. It was the ninth defeat for Arne Slot’s team in the last twelve competitive games.
Torspektakel in Paris
The fans in Paris also saw a goal spectacle. In the new edition of the Supercup final, which PSG only won on penalties after a late equalizer to make it 2-2 in August, Tottenham took the lead twice through Richarlison (35th) and Randal Kolo Muani (50th).
In the end, defending champion PSG remained 5-3 winners thanks to Vitinha (45th, 53rd, 76th/penalty), Fabian Ruiz (59th) and Willian Pacho (65th). ÖFB team defender Kevin Danso sat on the bench for the Londoners.
First defeat for Inter
The spectators at the Emirates Stadium in London saw slightly fewer goals, but Arsenal’s fifth win in their fifth game in a 3-1 win against Bayern Munich.
The “Gunners” are the only team without losing points because Inter lost 2-1 at Atletico. Julian Alvarez shot the Spaniards into the lead in the ninth minute, the equalizer went to Piotr Zielinski (54′), the decisive goal was headed by Jose Maria Gimenez (93′).
Frankfurt loses after a triple blow
Eintracht Frankfurt suffered a painful 3-0 home defeat against Atalanta Bergamo and had to accept the goals thanks to a triple strike from the guests in the 60th (Ademola Lookman), 62nd (Ederson) and 65th (Charles De Ketelaere) minutes.
Sporting Lisbon won 3-0 at home against Club Brugge. FC Copenhagen achieved its first win of this premier class season with a 3-2 home win against Kazakh club Kairat Almaty. AS Monaco twice lost a lead against Pafos in Limassol and ultimately had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
