Matchday 1 is over and we are here to review some important fixtures, so let's get started.
Inter Milan 1-1 Slavia Praha
Inter Milan 1-1 Slavia Praha
Inter Milan’s attack has been charged up with the arrival of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez but it
seems it might take some more time for new players to settle and adjust their gameplay at Inter. Though
Inter tied the match in extra time, most probably it won’t happen in upcoming matches.

Chelsea 0-1 Valencia
After a very good performance in EPL, Chelsea failed to deliver a single goal and missed a crucial penalty in
the last 10 minutes. Surely Chelsea dominated the game but lost 3 points in the very first fixture. The
arrival of Frank Lampard brought a few fresh academy talents to the main team and it is worth appreciation.
But benching Pulisic was one of the bad decisions made by Lampard. Hope they will work on this.

Red Bull 6-2 Genk
What a domination by Red Bull! 1st half completely sealed the game for the Red Bulls and 19-year-old Erling
Haland’s Hat-trick was the cherry on the top. Haland became the youngest player to score a hat-trick in UEFA
Champions League and it was also his debut in the competition. I hope he will deliver more goals in upcoming
fixtures.

Napoli 2-0 Liverpool
Surely, it wasn’t an expected start the Titleholders were expecting. Leaving the defense blunders to one side,
Liverpool’s attack was bit lowered throughout the match. Speaking of Napoli, Dries Mertens Penalty gave
them much wanted lead in last 10 minutes followed by Llorente’s extra time easy goal. Last year also, Napoli
had beaten Liverpool in the group stage, Coincidence!

Ajax 3-0 LOSC
Many of us have thought of crippled Ajax after the departure of De Jong and De Ligt from the Ajax squad,
but just like last year, they came up with another surprise and we all are amazed again. I am sure they will
lure more teams this year to sign their players.

Dortmund 0-0 Barcelona
Many Barcelona fans were not happy with the decision of benching Messi amid their first UCL fixture.
Probably Valverde wanted the newbie Ansu Fati to have some playtime on Champions league stage.
Dortmund with headstrong attacking mentality did their best but not better than Ter Stegen. The goal
stopper stood strong and made very crucial saves. Barcelona’s team may look strong with Griezman but
the presence of Messi is far more important, especially in UCL games.

Tottenham 2-2 Olympiacos
Tottenham took the lead in the first half and it was easy 3 points for the team but the opponent didn’t give up
and equalized with 2 goals in the second half. It was the first game for Olympiacos in UCL and surely they made
good memories about it.

PSG 3-0 Real Madrid
Heartbreak for Real fans, but the results are not that much surprising. Absence of Ramos, Kroos, and Modric
made them a little bit weak and it may take time for the whites to regain their attitude after last year departure
of their goal machine-Ronaldo.

Atletico Madrid 2-2 Juventus
This fixture tuned up many fans around the globe and the game turned out to be an epic thriller. 1st half tussle
was entertaining but both teams went goalless at the end of 45 minutes. 2nd half game 2 goal lead to Juventus
but Atletico struck back and made it 2-2 in the final minute. Juve’s no.7 vs Atletico’s no.7 was worth watching.
