Bednarek and Kiwior with a historic performance in the Champions League. Bravo!

After three defeats, Porto players needed a victory to still be considered in this edition of the Champions League. They started very well. In the 11th minute, after a cross by Spaniard Gabriel Veiga from a corner kick, Bednarek, left unattended, beat Alex Meret with a header.

The guests equalized in the 43rd minute. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa saved two shots from the Naples players, but he had nothing to say when Scott McTominay scored a rebound.

In the 55th minute, Bednarek was close to a second goal, similar to the first, but this time his header touched the crossbar. A few minutes later, Napoli saved the crossbar again after Veiga's powerful shot. In the 71st minute, the Spaniard achieved his goal by scoring a goal.

In the end, Porto defeated the Neapolitans. First, Kiwior copied Bednarek's feat, scoring a goal with his header after a corner kick, and the final goal was scored by Spaniard Samu, who converted the penalty kick. A moment earlier, his compatriot from Napoli, Rafa Marin, was shown a red card for a foul.

Bednarek and Kiwior made history this way - for the first time, two Polish players scored goals in one Champions League match. For both defenders of the Polish national team, these are the first goals in their careers in this competition. Their clubmate Oskar Pietuszewski watched the match from the bench.

Two Polish players - Wiktor Nowak and Oskar Kubiak - also played from the first to the last minute in Prague, where Slavia hosted Premier League leader Arsenal London. The Gunners, buoyed by their first league win at Anfield in 14 years against Liverpool, led 2-0 at the break after goals by Noni Madueke and Swede Viktor Gyokeres. In the 90th minute, Nowak reduced the scale of the defeat, as he was praised for his recent performances in the Polish national team and for whom it was also his first goal in the Champions League.

The Italian Como, making its debut in the Champions League, won an impressive victory, defeating the Lens team in France 9:1. Greek Anastasios Douvikas achieved a hat-trick. This is the highest victory in the history of the competition, next to the 8-0 wins of Liverpool against Besiktas Istanbul in 2007 and Real Madrid against Malmoe FF in 2015. Michał Skóraś played for the home team in the first half.

On Wednesday, Polish players also included Tymoteusz Puchacz from Azerbaijani Sabah FC, which lost away to Viking Stavanger 1:4.

The first points were lost on Wednesday by Liverpool, who lost to Fenerbahce 2-2 in Istanbul, and Betis Sevilla, who lost to Borussia 1-2 in Dortmund.

Real Madrid won its fourth victory, beating AEK Athens away 3-2. The "Royals" were losing 1-2 a quarter of an hour before the end of the match, but the fate of the match was reversed by Frenchman Kylian Mbappe (74th goal in his career) and Uruguayan Federico Valverde in the 92nd minute.

In the remaining matches, PSV Eindhoven lost to Club Brugge 1:2, and RB Leipzig lost to Manchester City 2:3, for which the winning goal, the 62nd in this competition, was scored by Norwegian Erling Haaland.

On Tuesday, the favorites won. Defending trophy champions Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Inter all achieved confident victories without conceding a goal. One of the goals for the Milan team in the match against Feyenoord (3-0) was scored by Piotr Zieliński in Rotterdam. Matty Cash also played among Polish players, and his Aston Villa lost to Barcelona 0-3 at Camp Nou.

The biggest win was recorded by PSG, beating Villarreal away 6-0.

All matches of the 4th round were preceded by a minute of silence dedicated to the memory of CD Tenerife player Jesús de Miguel, who died on Tuesday morning as a result of being hit by the FC Andorra goalkeeper during an attempt to intervene during Monday's match of the Spanish second league.

PSG is ahead of Real Madrid in the 36-team Champions League table - only these two teams have 12 points, two more than third-placed Arsenal. Como advanced to fourth place after a record win.

Teams from places 1-8 will qualify for the 1/8 finals after eight rounds, and those from places 9-24 will fight to advance to this round in the play-offs. The final is scheduled for June 5 next year in Madrid.
