Chelsea, Juventus Thrashed as Haaland Hits Double

Champions League football is back and like always, the tournament’s first 8 fixtures were full of incredible goals, with a couple of your favorite teams getting beat.

 

Chelsea Vs Dinamo Zagreb

The Croatian side’s Mislav Oršić had the last laugh by scoring a brilliant goal in the 12th minute after a counter-attack that Chelsea’s defenders couldn’t contain fast enough. 17 minutes later, Kepa Arrizabalaga had to make a save to deny the hosts a second. 

New signing Aubameyang’s 2nd half tap-in was flagged offside. 90+6minutes later, a couple of woodworks and with 69% possession, Chelsea flew back to England with no point.

 

PSG Vs Juventus

Mbappe, Neymar and Messi led the Champions of France to a 2-1 win at the Parc des Princes to continue their hunt for a Champions League trophy that has so far proven to be elusive. PSG, who are unbeaten in 17 games, emerged victorious thanks to a Mbappe brace, one of which was a result of a brilliant Neymar link-up.

Juventus’ start hasn’t been the best this season as they currently sit 7th in the Serie A and the defeat just added to their misery. 

Manchester City Vs Sevilla

Erling Haaland has proven yet again that the close to £85.5m paid for his acquisition from Borussia Dortmund was the right investment after inspiring The Citizens to a 4-0 victory in Spain. 

Serving Sevilla their biggest defeat in European football, at home,  shows how sharp the Pep Guardiola boys are.

 

Real Madrid Vs Celtic

The 14-time Champions League winners and defending title holders  welcomed Celtic back to the UCL by scoring 3 goals past Joe Hart. Real Madrid are looking to continue their immense success in the competition having won a whopping 5 times in the last 9 seasons.
