71 goals, new record for the Champions League. The 3rd day produced a shower of goals, 4 more than the previous record. It must also be said that the European leaders played affordable teams during this day, which made things easier. But let's start with one of the rare 0-0s, between Monaco and Tottenham. Because the person responsible for this aimless poster is Vicario, the Spurs goalkeeper, who disgusted the Monegasque attackers, mainly Balogun then Minamino. Tottenham clearly owes him the point collected at the Louis II stadium.
In defense, we chose a rearguard that would be a starter in any team, with Nuno Mendes on the left. In great shape, the PSG player scored again, on a caviar served by Vitinha. On the right, Denzel Dumfries shone with Inter Milan on the pitch at Union Saint-Gilloise. The 1-0 goal, like a fox from the surfaces and an implication on the 2nd, scored by Lautaro Martinez. In the middle, a duo that would scare all attackers, made up of Gabriel and Van Dijk.
Désiré Doué stunned Leverkusen
The first named displayed his incredible talent in the air against Atlético de Madrid, with a headed goal to free the Gunners then an assist with a header for Gyökeres to conclude the festival. Van Dijk relieved the Reds by scoring, unsurprisingly with a header from a corner, the 2-1 goal for Liverpool against Eintracht Frankfurt. In midfield, we install a trio guided by Vitinha, sparkling with PSG against Bayer Leverkusen. He ended his recital with a goal from a distance. To accompany him, the hero of the week of course, namely Fermin Lopez, author of a resounding hat-trick with FC Barcelona against Olympiacos and Felix Nmecha, author of a double with Dortmund against Copenhagen, with two strikes from the edge of the area.
In attack, how can we not put Viktor Gyökeres, who found the net with Arsenal? It won't be his best double, with two close goals, but they are important, against a formidable opponent. To serve him, we install Désiré Doué. One half was enough for him to twist Leverkusen, and if Andrich collected a red by elbowing him in the jaw, it was the Frenchman who stunned the Germans with two splendid goals. There is only one man missing, that's good, it's Man, first name Dennis, who participated in the PSV Eindhoven festival against Naples. The Romanian left-hander first appeared at the near post for his first goal, and unleashed a huge strike for his second.
