Champions Manchester City began winning the Champions League by beating Red Star Belgrade in England, similar to what Porto and Barcelona did, while Joao Felix did well in Group H of the tournament.
On the first day of the first round, the strongest clubs fulfilled their obligations more or less well, with the exception of Milan, which lost a draw at home to Newcastle.
Joao Felix was in Barca’s starting line-up and played a major role in the 5-0 rout of Antwerp, scoring another goal and providing an assist.
Joao Cancelo, another Portuguese member of the Catalan team that played at the Barcelona Olympics on Tuesday, was also in the starting line-up for another rout of the Spanish champions, the clear favorites in Group H.
Barcelona’s first goal came in the 11th minute with a superb strike from João Felix, before the Portuguese striker made it 2-0 to Robert Lewandowski in the 19th minute. At 22, the Rafinha center led to Bataille’s own goal.
Gavi, 54, and again Joao Felix, 66, extended the rout, their second in as many days, after a 5-0 defeat against Betis in the Spanish league.
Group H appears to be tilting towards the Iberian side as in Hamburg Portugal’s runners-up Porto beat Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1.
The evening belonged to the Brazilian Galeno, who scored twice (08 and 15) and provided an assist for the second goal of the Iranian Taremi (29).
The goal for the Ukrainians, who are playing in Hamburg due to the war in their country, was scored by Venezuelan Kevin Kelsey in the 13th minute, making the score equal.
In Group G, Manchester City took to the field for the first time as European champions and with a clear desire to defend their title, despite a good response from Red Star, who won 3–1.
Portuguese Bernardo Silva was injured before the break, while Ruben Dias and Matheus Nunez started.
The Serbian team surprised the Citizens and took the lead with a score of 45, thanks to a goal from Bukari.
Then a double from Argentina’s Julián Alvarez (47th and 60th) and Rodri’s final goal in the 73rd compensated for an empty night from Haaland, the deadliest goalscorer of our time.
In the other Group G game, Leipzig traveled to Switzerland to defeat Young Boys, also 3–1.
The surprise for Group F was the clean sheet set by Newcastle at the Milan stadium, the team of Portuguese striker Rafael Lean, who did not lose his balance.
In Paris, Paris Saint-Germain showed their class and played a great game against Borussia Dortmund, which they won 2–0.
Vitinha, who hit the post and took part in one of the goals, became one of the figures in the match, which also featured Gonçalo Ramos (disallowed goal) and Danilo.
Mbappe in the 49th minute with a penalty and Hakimi with a trivela in the 58th, supported by Vitinny, scored the goals for a team that looked to have overcome the departures of Messi and Neymar very well.
Group E has also started and Feyenoord are early leaders after a 2-0 defeat to Celtic, a team that included young Paulo Bernardo on loan from Benfica in the final minutes.
In another game in the same group, Lazio and Atlético Madrid tied, and the final 1:1 draw turned out to be fair: the Italians managed to avoid defeat only in the 90+5th minute thanks to a goal from the goalkeeper. .networks, Conducted.
