Football Champions League is gaining momentum. Manchester City took on Inter
The updated football Champions League is gaining momentum.
The key match of the evening on September 18 was the confrontation between British Manchester City and Italian Inter.
Yes, the game was interesting, emotional, not without dangerous moments, beautiful combinations and fast attacks, but... the spectators never saw any goals.
Just as there were “dry” zeros on the scoreboard before the starting whistle, so they remained there after the final whistle.
By the way, as many remember, the teams closed the Champions League season two before last.
In the most important match of the tournament, they fought for the title. The Milanese lost – 0:1. Accordingly, the tournament was won by the “citizens”.
The revenge Simone Inzaghi wanted didn't happen in 2024. But his team didn't lose either. The 0:0 score is probably still quite logical, based on what the teams showed.
Another goalless draw occurred in the confrontation between another Italian club, Bologna, and Shakhtar Donetsk.
Scottish Celtic inflicted a real rout on Slovan from Bratislava – 5:1.
Borussia Dortmund achieved a major away victory, beating Belgian Club Brugge with a score of 3:0.
Prague's Sparta beat Austria's Salzburg (3:0), and France's PSG beat Spain's Girona (1:0).
Today, September 19, the first round of the Champions League will end with the matches Feyenoord vs. Bayer, Crvena Zvezda vs. Benfica, Atalanta vs. Arsenal.
Also scheduled are the matches Atletico vs. Leipzig, Brest vs. Sturm, and Monaco vs. Barcelona.
