Why It Matters
The Champions League season is underway, RB Leipzig is also playing in the premier class after the start of the Bundesliga. PSV Eindhoven is a traditional Dutch club. Other top European clubs such as Galatasaray, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Inter Milan were also in action on this match day.
RB Leipzig achieved a 1-0 (0-0) win against PSV Eindhoven from the Netherlands on matchday 2 of the Champions League season. RB had their goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoord to thank for the fact that the Bundesliga club were not behind at the break, who saved a penalty from Ivan Perišić. Previously, a cross had flown onto Ridle Baku's arm, and after viewing the video images, the referee decided on a penalty.
With a shot from the edge of the penalty area, Brajan Gruda gave RB the lead in the second half. The Leipzig fans had to tremble for a short time when a supposed goal from PSV professional Armando Obispo was checked by the video referee. But he was offside.
Galatasaray Istanbul fans could dream of an underdog victory: Istanbul's cauldron exploded in the first half when Aleksey Batrakov put Gala in the lead. For a short time, the Turkish fans in their stadium, called “Hell,” had even more reason to cheer. But a goal from Baris Yilmaz was disallowed for offside.
Instead, Barcelona's João Cancelo equalized for the visitors before half-time. After the break, the Spaniards shocked the Gala fans: Fermín López and Anthony Gordon secured the preliminary decision with a double strike within three minutes. The German Karim Adeyemi scored the final score with a direct pass.
Manchester United got off to a false start in the domestic Premier League, and the English team also suffered a setback in the premier league. The Spanish hosts from Madrid took the lead in the first minute after a deflected shot from Pablo Barrios. Manchester played outnumbered from the 74th minute onwards after a red card for Leny Yoro for an emergency stop. Joker Ademola Lookman made it 2-0 after a counterattack.
U21 international Nicolò Tresoldi celebrated a hat-trick against Inter Milan. The German-Italian attacker, who could still choose Italy for the senior national team, shone in front of the Italian crowd at the legendary San Siro Stadium. First he gave the underdogs from Belgium the lead, then in the second half he paved the way for Brussels' victory in Milan with a brace.
