In one of the most "high-profile" matches of the 2nd round of the Champions League, which took place on October 1, the giants fought each other.
In London, the local Arsenal played with the French PSG.
The latter fell yet another victim to the British club, which has not yet tasted the bitterness of defeat this season.
Mikel Arteta's men scored two goals, while his compatriot Luis Enrique's men were unable to upset the home team's goalkeeper.
By the way, before meeting the unusually powerful “gunners” this season, the guys from Paris Saint-Germain also did not know what it was like to lose.
Now they know. Moreover, the Londoners scored both goals in the first half – in the 20th minute by Kai Havertz, in the 35th – by Bukayo Saka.
Thus, after two matches played, Arsenal has 4 points, PSG has one point less.
In another top match yesterday evening in Leverkusen, local Bayer met Milan.
And he beat the Italians – the only goal was scored by Victor Boniface in the 51st minute. Now the Germans have 6 points, Milan – zero.
The newcomer to the Champions League, French Brest, pleasantly surprised. They won two victories in a row. The second was over Salzburg with a score of 4:0.
After losing to Monaco in the first round, Catalan Barcelona more than got their revenge on the innocent players of Swiss Young Boys – 5:0.
An even bigger victory – 7:1 – was achieved by Borussia Dortmund in the match against Scottish Celtic.
Results of other games:
– “Stuttgart” – “Sparta” (Prague) – 1:1;
– “Inter” – “Crvena Zvezda” – 4:0;
– PSV – Sporting – 1:1;
– Slovan – Manchester City – 0:4.
Today, October 2, several more matches of the 2nd round of the Champions League will take place, including those involving Bayern, Liverpool, Real, Juventus and others.
