The first matchday of the new football champions League season has grown with a spectacular game. Juventus Turin and Dortmund separated on Tuesday with a 4: 4 (0-0). Real Madrid started with a home 2: 1 against Olympique Marseille, victories also existed for the London clubs Arsenal (2-0 in Bilbao) and Tottenham (1-0 against Villarreal). Saint-Gilloise won 3: 1 in Eindhoven, as surprisingly, the 3-2 of Karabach Agdam came at Benfica Lisbon.
In the duel between Juve and BVB, the events overturned after a boring first half. Karim Adeyemi (53.) and Felix Nmecha (65th) took the lead, Kenan Yildiz (64.) and Dusan Vlahovic (67.). Marcel Sabitzer, in use about the complete distance, provided the template to 3: 2 for Dortmund by Yan Couto (74.). The 4: 2 fixed Ramy Bensbaini by penalty (86th). At that time, the guests looked like the safe winner, but then Vlahovic placed 3: 4 (94.) and delivered the flank to 4: 4 by Lloyd Kelly (96.).
In Madrid, the game was initially marked by the home side, who, among other things, were dangerous for a fall back by Kylian Mbappe (2nd) and a rod shot by Franco Mastantuono (6th). However, the guests took the lead – Arda Güler made a ball loss and Mason Greenwood was ideal for the goal scorer Timothy Weah (22nd). Seven minutes later, Rodrygo was laid in the sixteen, Mbappe did not take the chance and set 1-1.
Real wins despite Carvajal exclusion
In the second half, Mbappe hit the latte (50th) and Real was getting stronger, but then Dani Carvajal, exchanged for the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold, saw the red card (72nd) after a head kick against Marseille-Goalie Geronimo Rulli (72nd). Nevertheless, the Madrilenen still achieved victory because Vinicius Junior took out a hand-elf and with a little luck. David Alaba cheered from the replacement bank.
