While waiting for Bayern and Real Madrid, three teams took the lead in the general classification of the first phase of the Champions League by winning by a wide margin. PSG is provisional leader this Tuesday evening after its new offensive demonstration carried out on the Leverkusen field, with a 7-2 success. The reigning Ballon d'Or Ousmane Dembélé celebrated his return to competition when he came into play.
The European day offered a record total of goals in one day, namely 43! Inter and Arsenal achieve a hell of a
perfect since they have three victories without conceding a single goal! The Nerazzurri won 4-0 at Union Saint-Gilloise (which plays in the Anderlecht stadium in C1). The absence of Marcus Thuram did not bother the unfortunate finalist of the last LDC.
The Gunners also won 4-0 in the clash against Atlético at the Emirates Stadium. Gabriel opened the scoring with a header before the hour mark (57th), before a goal from Gabriel Martinelli (64th) and a double from Viktor Gyökeres (67th and 70th).
Napoli humiliated!
At the top of the table, we find Manchester City and Dortmund with seven points each after their respective success at Villarreal (0-2, Erling Haaland's opener) and Copenhagen (2-4, with a double from Felix Nmecha). Newcastle won a second victory this season by slapping José Mourinho's Benfica (3-0).
The big sensation of this Tuesday evening of the Champions League comes from Eindhoven with the improbable card of PSV against Napoli with a score of 6-2! Scott McTominay opened the scoring, but the Dutch team caught fire, leading 2-1 at half-time then 4-1 10 minutes from time. The Scottish midfielder from Partenopei reignited the suspense in the 86th but PSV scored two more goals.
