The fourth day of the Champions League began this Tuesday evening and it was not favorable to the two main favorites of the event. Real Madrid and Manchester City suffered severe corrections. The logic was, however, respected on the Liverpool side.
Real humiliated at home
The most successful club in Europe, Real is going through a real crisis. We are now certain of this since after the slap received against Barça, the Merengue team fell again at home. This time, it was against Milan that the Merengue fell (1-3). However, it was not the great Milan opposite. This shows how apathetic the face of the title holders was. From a penalty, Vinicius Jr responded to Thiaw’s opener, but subsequently the achievements of Morata and Reijnders remained unanswered. Already beaten by Lille in this C1, Real already has two defeats in this event.
Man City drinks the cup
The Madrid club was not the only big one in Europe to fall this Tuesday. The same goes for Manchester City. Guardiola’s team even suffered an even more significant humiliation. She was spanked by Sporting CP (4-1). For the last of Ruben Amorim on his bench, the Lisbon team surpassed itself, like the tireless Viktor Gyokeres, author of a hat-trick. The Uruguayan Maximiliano Araujo also found the fault at the conclusion of a marvel of collective sequence. This victory allows Amorim to land at United on conquered ground, because what could be better than a rout inflicted on City to be adopted by the Old Trafford faithful.
Not all the big names in Europe had a bad evening. Liverpool, for example, wandered on their land against Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen. The Reds won 4-0 with a hat-trick from Colombian Luis Diaz. With this victory, Arne Slot’s team continues its flawless performance in this C1 (4 victories in as many matches).
French clubs are doing well
Adi Rutter’s AS Monaco did almost as well following its success in Bologna thanks to a goal from Thilo Kehrer. The Monegasques have ten points on their scoreboard. The other French team out this Tuesday had to settle for a draw. Lille, in fact, shared the honors with Juventus (1-1). Jonathan David opened the scoring before Dusan Vlahovic responded.
In the other matches, we will note the short success of Dortmund over Bruges (1-0). Celtic gleaned a second success to the detriment of Leipzig (3-1), while PSV defeated Girona (4-0). Dinamo Zagreb also scored a great score on the field of Slovan Bratislava (4-1).
