Four days after losing to Real Madrid and one day after the resignation of the president, Barcelona is fighting in the Champions League. The Catalans beat Juventus 2-0.
The second match of the Champions League group stage brought to light two new enemy images in the Italian series champion Juventus Turin: the Corona tests and the video referee. The former prevented the use of his own superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in the duel with Lionel Messis Barcelona. The latter allowed the Catalans to return home from northern Italy with three points thanks to an early goal from Ousmane Dembélé and a late goal from Lionel Messi due to lack of a penalty (91).
A deflected shot from 23-year-old Dembélé, whom Ronald Koeman prioritized by Barça’s most valuable jewel Ansu Fati, sent the visitors onto the road to victory in the 14th minute. The French capped off a strong start with an advantage Well deserved for the Catalans, who were visibly eager to make amends after Saturday’s bitter championship defeat to archrival Real Madrid and the immediate resignation of President Josep Bartomeu on Tuesday.
In the end, the Spaniards won in a remarkable exchange of blows that deserved more goals, but so did the lucky man. Andrea Pirlo’s team, respectively his attacker Álvaro Morata, reported double bad luck in the start phase and once again an inch of bad luck after the break. The Spanish international had already celebrated his goals in minutes 15 and 30 before the video referee took them offside. Ten minutes after the break – Morata had scored again, but this time he celebrated more cautiously – a lengthy video study revealed another offside of the unfortunate attacker.
Favres BVB shows patience
Lucien Favres Borussia Dortmund, who scored a hard-fought 2-0 win over Zenit St Petersburg, also showed a reaction. A week ago, the young Dortmund side made an uninspired appearance at the start of the premier class at Lazio Roma, which ended in a 1: 3 loss. Even a strong first reaction in Ruhrpott’s derby against Schalke 04 (3-0) could not silence the critics. Coach Favre, in particular, has been in the media crossfire from the start.
The fact that Favre spoke of an ordeal and a game of patience in the run-up to the game against Zenit further fueled Swiss criticism. The fact that the Vaudois’ forecast came true should also help him little in Germany. The fact that young Dortmund showed patience despite the rival’s harsh pace and clinched victory in the closing stages thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho (78th / penalty) and Erling Haaland (91st) is a positive sign.
RB Leipzig fall 0-5 at Old Trafford
The first game away from home in the premier class at Man United went totally wrong for Julian Nagelsmann’s side. The Champions semi-finalist suffered his first competitive loss of the season at the Red Devils.
Mason Greenwood (21st minute), the youngest player on the field at 19, gave the Red Devils the lead against the ghostly crowd at Old Trafford before substitute Marcus Rashford with a hat-trick (73./78. /90.+2) and Anthony Martial with a penalty (87th) made the first home win of the season perfect. Before that, there was a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace in the Premier League, a 6-1 debacle against Tottenham Hotspur and a 0-0 victory against Chelsea.
